Visiting US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said Monday that Iraq's weapons report submitted to the United Nations will not immediately lead to war, according to a top government spokesman.
During a meeting with Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuo Fukuda in Tokyo, Armitage also indicated that a new UN resolution may be possible before the United States and its allies attack Iraq, according to Fukuda.
Iraq submitted a report to the UN headquarters in New York last Sunday denying it has weapons of mass destruction.
Armitage also briefly met Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, Fukuda said.
