The day before the report of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was
published in the USA. It is explicitly mentioned in the report that
Iran hasn’t been working at any nuclear program since 2003. Meanwhile
the authors of the document emphasize that the Islamic Republic of
Iran continues uranium enrichment, so it can enquire nuclear weapon
from 2010 to 2015. These conclusions differ from those reached two
years ago, when the American special services believed that Tehran was
rather determined about its nuclear program and continued its
realization.

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Now, as the representative of the US CIA mentions,
it may be thought that the diplomatic pressure had a certain effect on
Iranian authorities. In the information provided, there is a
conclusion which attracts particular attention. According to it
`Tehran’s decision to quite the works on nuclear program proves that
the country is less willing to manufacture nuclear weapon, than we
thought in 2005.’

According to the U.S. Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs Stephen Hadley, the annual report of the National Intelligence
contains good news. The report gives grounds for hopes that the
problem may be solved in a diplomatic way, without any force, which is
what the Administration has been trying to achieve,’ said National
Security Advisor.

Overestimation of the danger of Iran’s nuclear power is given by the
National Intelligence Estimate (NIE); the annual report of the
National Intelligence, where the idea of the CIA and other 15
intelligence bodies coordinated by the United States Director of
National Intelligence Mike McConnell is prevailing. Sometimes these
estimations are not exact, just like the report about the weapon of
mass destruction of Saddam Hussein, which became nothing but a simple
excuse for the war in Iraq. Usually these kind of reports are kept
secret, but McConnell decided to make the report concerning Tehran
public, to delude the public opinion, taking into account the fact
that the content of this report is different from the information
provided by the pervious one.

As the Italian newspaper La Repubblica writes, in the previous report
of 2005 the American reconnaissance assured `with great certainty’
that Iran intended to acquire nuclear weapon in spite of the
international liability and pressure from the outside. According to
this information, the White House was at the head of the international
offensive to isolate and punish Tehran through its
sanctions. Yesterday’s document is completely different from the one
which was submitted two years ago. In the new report it is confirmed
that by the middle of the year of 2007 Iran didn’t recommence programs
on nuclear weapon, but continued uranium enrichment process with big
difficulties. It is mentioned in the document that the turning of 2003
was connected with the diplomatic pressure and a stricter control from
the world community. Regarding future it is said in the report that
the decision about nuclear weapon manufacturing is made on the basis
of analysis of expenses and benefits, without being influenced by
political, economic or military interests.

But how can we explain the sudden change in the National
Intelligence’s viewpoint? `The information received over the last
several months made us reconsider the whole problem,’ explained one of
the officials. The difference between the reports of 2005 and 2007
gives rise to many questions regarding the authenticity of the
information and the works carried out by the agents, as well as
mysterious games of the authorities in the institutions in
Washington. On the other hand it is not clear yet what the
consequences of the new report would be for the coming European
negotiations with Tehran and the negotiations in the UNO’, writes the
newspaper.

At the same time the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran Manouchehr
Mottaki approved the report of the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency. `We naturally welcome the fact that the countries which used
to have doubts and uncertainties regarding this issue have decided to
reconsider their views. The character of peaceful use of Iran’s
nuclear weapon becomes clear to the entire world,’ said the
Minister. The US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed his hopes
that the White House will take all the necessary measures to mend its
contacts with Iran.

`I hope that this Administration will carefully read the report and
will respectively correct its policy in regards Iran. The Bush
Administration should take example from Reagan, who tried to keep
better relations with the Soviet Union,’ said Reid. Such a reaction of
the Democrats shows how serious consequences the publication of the
report may have and this should undoubtedly worry the American
military leadership. «PanARMENIAN.Net» analytical department
