The head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns, admitted on Tuesday morning (December 7th) that there were no weapons aspects of Iran's nuclear program.
Burns told the Wall Street Journal that the CIA "does not yet see any evidence of a nuclear weapons program by Iran."
Western countries, led by the United States and the Zionist regime, have in recent years accused Iran of pursuing military goals in its nuclear program. Iran has strongly denied these allegations.
Iran emphasizes that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has the right to acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
In addition, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors have visited Iran's nuclear facilities several times, but have never found any evidence that the country's peaceful nuclear energy program is deviating from military purposes.
William Burns also commented on the lifting of sanctions talks in Vienna last week. He claimed:
The Iranians have not yet taken the negotiations seriously at this point. We will see soon how serious they are.
