A US intelligence source has revealed that some American spies share the
concerns of the British and the Israelis. "Many middle- ranking CIA veterans
believe Iran is still committed to producing nuclear weapons and are
concerned that the agency lost a number of its best sources in Iran in
2004,"
"By going public they have embarrassed our
friends, particularly the British and the Israelis. They have given our foes
insights into our most secret intelligence and taken most of the options off
the table."
"No one can rule out with high confidence that
somewhere in Iran, 70 times the size of Israel, there is one lab working on
the weapons programme," Mr Sneh told The Sunday Telegraph.
"[Military action] is not a desired option; it is a last resort. That's why
sanctions are so important. We have to urge the international community to
be serious about sanctions and to take necessary measures to defend the
civilian population."
