CIA chief: No evidence Iran has decided to weaponize its nuclear program so far
The director of the CIA, William Burns, says there is no current evidence that Iran has decided to weaponize its nuclear program at this point, according to a CBS reporter.
The agency doesn’t “see any evidence that Iran’s Supreme Leader has made a decision to move to weaponize,” he says at a conference organized by The Wall Street Journal.
On the subject of the troubled nuclear negotiations in Vienna, he echoes US Secretary of State Antony Blinken: “The Iranians have not been taking the negotiation seriously at this point. We’ll see soon enough about how serious they are.”
