Iran, Nukes, Diplomacy and other options (catch all thread 2007-2010)

[Sean Osborne]

Sean, the unclas version here is slightly different from your quote.

Stan,

I was being specific with respect to the 2009 date ("about two years time") and how the US and Israeli estimates currently judge/assign confidences to the Iranian nuke weapons capability or lack thereof.

Thanks for the quick fix !

I apologize for misunderstanding what you had asked.

Correct me if wrong herein, but covert intel from in-country would be performed by whom ?

A guess - someone of similar insider access as Iran's former deputy defense minister and most recent defector Gen. Ali Reza Asghari? I was just engaged in some wishful thinking recently that with his defection he might have given the US or a closely allied intel agency someone else inside the Iranian nuke program as a potential POC/HUMINT source to pursue/exploit? Hope so.
