CIA Director: Iran Is on "the One-Yard Line" to Build a Bomb
(Washington Post) Warren P. Strobel - Appearing before Congress in March, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified that U.S. intelligence agencies assessed that Iran, despite its uranium enrichment work, has not restarted a nuclear weapons program it halted in 2003. However, CIA Director John Ratcliffe told a closed-door Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday that the formal U.S. intelligence assessment that Iran has not decided to build a bomb is of limited use. "It's like saying a football team marched 99 yards down the field, got to the one yard line and, oh, they don't have the intention to score," he was quoted as saying.
