Israelis pounced on the opportunity to push the US to war, but Obama administration still says Iranian nuke is far off
by John Glaser
Following rumors in Israel of a new US intelligence report warning of Iranian progress on a nuclear weapon, US officials told Reuters on Thursday that their intelligence still says Iran is not on the verge of getting nuclear weapons.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Israeli news media
early Thursday that a new US intelligence report parted ways with
earlier estimates finding Iran had no nuclear weapons program. No new or credible evidence was given in these reports of any Iranian weapons program, however.
