Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Joseph Cirincione tells CNN that six weeks after President George Bush threatened Iran with "World War III," and nearly six years after he declared Iran part of an "axis of evil," a new National Intelligence Estimate says Iran ended its nuclear weapons work four years ago. In an abrupt turnabout from previous estimates, the intelligence agencies of the executive branch conclude in the NIE that "Tehran's decision to halt its nuclear weapons program suggest it is less determined to develop nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005," adding, "We do not know whether [Iran] currently intends to develop nuclear weapons."
