Israeli Minister Warns NIE Miscalculation Could Lead To War

December 20, 2007

A senior Israeli official has voiced the first open criticism of the U.S. intelligence assessment of Irans nuclear program.

Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter warned that the United States underestimated Irans nuclear capabilities and intentions. Dichter said the National Intelligence Estimate, which asserted that Teheran abandoned its nuclear weapons program, could lead to a Middle East war.

“Something went wrong in the American blueprint for analyzing the severity of the Iranian nuclear threat,” Dichter, a former Israeli intelligence chief, said. “We have to hope that the United States will know to correct this. Israel and other states must help in any way including providing intelligence material so as to repair this miscalculation.”
