Yep, I did not recall Gore saying this.
It was an eye-operner.

“Iran cranking up uranium enrichment capability: diplomats”
by Michael Adler Tue Jun 12, 1:13 PM ET
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “VIENNA (AFP) - The UN atomic agency thinks Iran could have 8,000 centrifuges enriching uranium by December, a significant rise in nuclear capability likely to fuel fears that Tehran seeks nuclear weapons, diplomats said Tuesday.

“The concern is that they will have a sensitive number of centrifuges without having resolved the question marks surrounding the history of Iran’s programme,” a diplomat close to the watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said.
“It becomes more sensitive the more they have. It becomes a greater proliferation concern,” the diplomat told AFP.
The diplomat said IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei has been telling political leaders in private conversations that Iran was making “steady progress” in uranium enrichment and shows no sign of slowing down.
“ElBaradei is saying that Iran will have 8,000 centrifuges running if the current pace (of installation) continues” at its enrichment plant in Natanz, the diplomat said, adding that, from a proliferation point of view, ElBaradei was becoming “increasingly concerned.”
ElBaradei had Monday told an IAEA meeting here that the “brewing confrontation” with Iran over its atomic ambitions “must be defused.””
