American officials are starting to admit Washington’s lies about Iran. William Burns, director of the CIA, said on Wednesday, July 20, that Iran has never resumed its nuclear weapons production program since it was interrupted, in 2004. The statement only confirms the suspicion of several analysts around the world, but it is truly impressive that it came from the head of American intelligence. Indeed, it reveals that Washington really bases its interventionist foreign policy on lies and distortions.
During his speech at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado, Director Burns stated: “Our best intelligence judgment is that the Iranians have not resumed the weaponization effort that they had underway up until 2004 and then suspended, so that’s something, obviously we at CIA and across the US intelligence community keep a very, very sharp focus on”.
Earlier, in December of last year, the Director had already stated something similar to these lines, indicating that there were insufficient reasons for the US to believe that Iran planned to produce nuclear weapons. However, on neither occasion did Burns clarify why the US government had repeatedly mentioned this hypothesis of resuming the program in recent years, even without any scientific basis to justify the narrative.
Interestingly, it was not just Burns who recently commented on this topic. Tamir Hayman, director of Israeli intelligence, has already stated that Tel Aviv has not found evidence that Tehran plans to develop nuclear weapons, despite the fact that there is a large process of uranium enrichment.
“To the best of our knowledge, the directive has not changed, and they are not heading toward a breakout. They are not heading toward a bomb right now: It may be in the distant future. (…) There is an enriched amount [of uranium] in volumes that we have not seen ..

The CIA was originally founded to prevent “another Pearl Harbor.” But it seems that mostly what they do is involve endless Wars.
If you trust a former CIA director for the truth about any foreign matter you should have your head examined.
Not before adding an extra letter.
How do we know he isn’t lying now???
Sort of stretches credulity to claim that the Iranian civil, paramilitary, and military, who, as a class, are lying, cheating, conniving, murdering, MFing SOBs, have not been doing one single thing, not one, with nuclear weapons development since 2004. Yet Iran routinely refuses access to IAEA inspectors.
As they say down South: “That dog don’t hunt.”
I think Iran is on the cusp of a working nuke, if they haven’t
already got one ready.
Yup.
“...it is necessary that all sanctions be banned, and that Washington removes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from its list of terrorist organizations,...”
I believe they have at least ONE nuclear-type weapon at THIS TIME.......................
They ran out of cash. That’s why Biden, Kerry, Obama et al wanted the subsidies to resume.
The American military industrial complex needs a boogie man.
Arms sale would evaporate if we didn’t have one.
Couldn’t have that now, so many would lose their gravey train.
Total nonsense. Iran themselves just admitted they have enriched uranium to 60% and are capable of building bombs
