New Information May Lead U.S. to Revise NIE on Iran
[Times-UK] Uzi Mahnaimi - There is mounting concern in Israel that Iran's nuclear capability may be far more advanced than was recognized in a U.S. National Intelligence Estimate last December. One source claimed the new information was on a par with intelligence that led Israel to discover and then destroy a partly constructed nuclear reactor in Syria last September. "We expect the Americans to amend their report soon," a high-ranking Israeli military officer said last week. Israel's foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, briefed Gordon Brown and David Miliband, the foreign secretary, on Israel's findings during talks on the Middle East in London last week. Israeli intelligence officers, en route from Washington where they had been outlining their latest information to American officials, joined Livni for the briefing.
