… in un precedente post qualche mese fa (grazie a nostre riservatissime fonti all’interno della CIA)  l’Intelligence USA sta concludendo un’aggiornamento del National Intelligence Estimate del 2007 sul programma nucleare iraniano.

Silendo in versione giornalista d’inchiesta

 

Tornando seri, questo post sul blog Declassified di Newsweek conferma le voci che da qualche mese circolavano nell’ambiente ed aggiunge alcuni elementi.
Secondo quanto affermato da alcuni funzionari anonimi:

the revised report will bring U.S. intel agencies more in line with other countries’ spy agencies (such as Britain’s MI6, Germany’s BND, and Israel’s Mossad), which have maintained that Iran has been pursuing a nuclear weapon.
Yet two of the U.S. sources caution the new assessment will likely be “Talmudic” in its parsing. They say U.S. analysts now believe that Iran may well have resumed “research” on nuclear weapons–theoretical work on how to design and construct a bomb–but that Tehran is not engaged in “development”–actually trying to build a weapon.
“The intelligence community is always reluctant to make a total retreat because it makes them look bad,” says the third American.

Rinvio le mie riflessioni all’eventuale lettura del NIE (se mai dovesse essere reso pubblico).
