Iran says to stop atomic transparency if attacked

TEHRAN, Apr 25 (Reuters) Iran's chief nuclear negotiator today said Iran would stop acting transparently over its nuclear programme if it came under military attack, a step the United States has refused to rule out.

''In case of military action against Iran, Iran cannot be expected to act transparently (over its nuclear programme),'' Ali Larijani told a conference on nuclear issues in Tehran.
