U.S. Intelligence Report: Iran 10 Years From Having Nukes

HeadlineAug 02, 2005

The Washington Post is reporting that a major U.S. intelligence review on Iran has projected that the country is about a decade away from manufacturing the key ingredient for a nuclear weapon. This new National Intelligence Estimate contrast with public statements by the White House that Tehran is moving determinedly toward a nuclear arsenal. Last year John Bolton said “If we permit Iran’s deception to go on much longer, it will be too late. Iran will have nuclear weapons.” At the time Bolton was working in the State Department. The classified intelligence estimate report represents the consensus among U.S. intelligence agencies. It marks the first major review of what is known and what is unknown about Iran since 2001.
