excerpt from: Intelligence services accuse Iran of designing nuclear warhead (*)
by James Blitz, Daniel Dombey and Najmeh Bozorgmehr, Financial Times, 29 September 2009
Quote: | Britain’s intelligence services say that Iran has been secretly designing a nuclear warhead “since late 2004 or early 2005”, an assessment that suggests Tehran has embarked on the final steps towards acquiring nuclear weapons capability. |

Quote: | “We are here to announce that yesterday in Vienna, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France presented detailed evidence to the IAEA demonstrating that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been building a covert uranium enrichment facility near Qom for several years. […]

excerpt from: Obama interview: the transcript
BBC World Service website, 2 June 2009
[emphasis added]
BBC: What the Israelis say is that they have managed to persuade you at least to concentrate on Iran and to give what, behind the scenes, they’re calling it a bit of an ultimatum to the Iranians: By the end of this year there must be some real progress.
OBAMA: Well, the only thing I’d correct on that is I don’t think the Israelis needed to convince me of that, since I’ve been talking about it for the last two years
[US President Barack Obama, BBC interview, 2 June 2009]

excerpts from: Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction
House of Commons website, 24 September 2002
Quote: | “Today we published a 50-page dossier, detailing the history of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programme, its breach of United Nations resolutions, and its attempts to rebuild that illegal programme. […]
The dossier is based on the work of the British Joint Intelligence Committee. […] The intelligence picture that they paint is one accumulated over the last four years. It is extensive, detailed and authoritative.
It concludes that Iraq has chemical and biological weapons, that Saddam has continued to produce them, that he has existing and active military plans for the use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes, including against his own Shia population, and that he is actively trying to acquire nuclear weapons capability.” |
[UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's “Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction” speech, UK Parliament, 24 September 2002]
