Iran Lacks Weapons-Grade Nuclear Material, U.S. Says

Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Iran lacks weapons-grade highly enriched uranium and has not yet made a decision on whether to produce any, U.S. intelligence officials have told Congress.

The officials, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lieutenant General Michael Maples, also said recent Iranian missile tests were not directly related to its nuclear activities. They said the two programs were believed to be on separate development tracks.
