IRNA: Iran disagrees with NIE

If NIE is true, then Iran is lying about its nuclear program. Have a nice day.
Iran has never been seeking nuclear weapons, Minister of Defense Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said on Monday.

The minister made the remarks in a meeting with a number of his ministry's senior officials.

"Iran has never been pursuing a program to develop nuclear weapons as it is against the country's religious, humanitarian and defensive doctrines," stressed the minister while directly referring to a report released by the US National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on December 3.

The report, provided by 16 US intelligence agencies, claimed, "Iran had put its bid to build a nuclear bomb on hold in 2003." The claim was made to prevent further humiliation of officials of the Bush administration.
