Intelligence on Iran nuclear threat seen as inadequate

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States doesn't have enough good intelligence to know whether or not
Iran will be capable of producing nuclear weapons in the near future, top congressional intelligence committee members said on Sunday.

Iran said earlier on Sunday it would not abandon its work on nuclear enrichment, which the
United Nations has demanded it halt, and was prepared to face sanctions from abroad.

Asked on Fox News Sunday when Iran might be capable of producing nuclear weapons, House Permanent Select Committee on

Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra, a Michigan Republican, said: "I'd say we really don't know.

"We're getting lots of mixed messages," Hoekstra said.
