President George W. Bush said his administration will "exhaust all diplomacy" and work with U.S. allies as it seeks to address Iran's nuclear program. "The objective is to continue to work with many nations around the world to convince Iran to get rid of its nuclear-weapons ambitions. That's the objective," Bush told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Thursday. The U.S. president said "it's important for us to exhaust all diplomacy, and so you're watching a diplomatic effort evolve." The president reiterated his support for the Russian plan that would allow "the development of a civilian nuclear program within Iran" with enrichment carried out in Russia under international supervision. The United States is engaged in a "multilateral effort," consulting with allies to reach consensus on the issue, Bush said. "We are in the process of working with our friends and allies as to how to devise a set of resolutions which will allow us to speak with a unified voice," he said.
