The head of the Central Intelligence Agency says the United States does not have evidence that Iran has made a decision to weaponize its nuclear program.
The US spy agency “doesn’t see any evidence that Iran’s Supreme Leader [Ali Khamenehi] has made a decision to move to weaponize,” CIA Director William Burns told The Wall Street Journal.
Iran has been accelerating its nuclear enrichment in recent months in what some analysts believe is a negotiating tactic in the ongoing talks to revive the JCPOA.
Burns said December 6, “The Iranians have not been taking the negotiation seriously at this point,” before adding, “We’ll see soon enough about how serious they are.”
