      Bush to Israel: NIE Was Wrong

      President Bush is privately assuring Israel’s leaders that he doesn’t believe the National Intelligence Estimate's conclusion that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003. In disavowing December's NIE, Bush said the “conclusions don't reflect his own views,” a US official told Newsweek . The private pledge may help quell calls in Israel’s defense community for military strikes. More »

      Iran Plans 19 Nuke Plants

      Iran has dismissed calls to drop uranium enrichment and plans 19 new nuclear power plants, Reuters reports. "US officials have talked of negotiations" on the condition that Iran stop the enrichment, "but we do not accept any preconditions for talks," Iran's Foreign Minister said today. The UN Security Council is debating another round of sanctions over Iran's refusal to stop the nuclear activity. More »

      Iran Resumed Nuke Program, Says Group

      An Iranian opposition group claims that the US intelligence agency's recent reversal on the status of Iran’s nuclear program was in error, the Wall Street Journal reports. The group, which first identified Iran's nuclear program in 2002, agrees that Iran closed down its major research facility in 2003, says a spokesman, but “they scattered the weaponization program to other locations and restarted in 2004."

      Angry Iran Blasts US for 'Espionage'

      Iran has blasted the US for spying and demanded “explanations for US espionage" in a letter sent to Washington, the BBC reports.  Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said today that a recent US intelligence report—which claims Iran's nuclear weapons program ended four years ago—was full of “facts and lies,” but reveals extensive espionage against his country.

      U-Turn on Iran Will Shake Up Foreign Policy

      The National Intelligence Estimate's findings yesterday that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 will have dramatic fallout at home and abroad, the New York Times reports, beginning with the collapse of the White House's recent campaign to portray Iran as an immediate threat to world peace. It will erode international support for tougher sanctions against Iran, and take off the table the "widely rumored and feared" possibility of military intervention pushed by hardliners in the Bush administration.

"The condition of Iran's peaceful nuclear activities is becoming clear to the world," an Iranian official said of the report. Not so fast, said Israel's defense chief. More »
