NIE Report: an Iranian Victory?!
(AFP) - The US intelligence community came under fire over the weekend on two fronts, as conservatives criticized a recent CIA report on Iran's nuclear program and the Justice Department announced a probe into the agency's destruction of videotapes showing interrogations of terror suspects. The intelligence services are still trying to restore their credibility following the debacle over alleged weapons of mass destruction in Saddam Hussein's Iraq, the main justification for the US-led 2003

Last week, U.S. National intelligence Estimate released a report that concluded Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons program four years ago and CIA has found no evidence of a secret nuclear program. While the some of the Iranian rejoiced the recent report and considered it as a victory others did not have that much positive view about it, considering the intensification of US and their European's allies in their efforts against Iran and sudden revelation of the report.
The positive side of NIE report, believed by some Iranian politicians perhaps is that it will subvert America's coercive policy and an impending war on Iran; also it would encourage Russia and China to resist new UN sanctions as well as relaxation of America's European allies on financial restrictions. These people believe that the report would path the way for negotiation and dialogue between the two countries.
Others believe that the positive side of NIE report is exaggerated and the report should be approach with more care and attention. While NIE launched its report and declared that Iran has stopped its nuclear weapons program, Bush declared that U. S. policy toward Iran has not changed and America still considers Iran as a treat to world's peace. His statements were accompanied by U.S secretary of State Rice, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Dick Cheney. U.S government insisted that Iran must stop enriching Uranium and clarify its nuclear activities. What was revealed by NIE was reported by IAEA and the same thing had happened for Saddam regime; the reports had confirmed that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and despite all these reports America attacked Iraq. Anyway U.S. government has declared that this report has not change their policy toward Iran.
