In a classified cable dated 29 April 2009, Ambassador Gregory L. Schulte confirms that Iran had no weapon programme in its nuclear activities. In his cable, he says, "Recalling the U.S. Intelligence Community's assessment in the 2007 NIE that Iran halted its nuclear weapons work in 2003, France asked about information in DDG Safeguards Olli Heinonen's February 2008 technical briefing, which indicated some activities had taken place in 2004. The U.S. responded that the information in Heinonen's February 2008 briefing was consistent with the 2003 weaponisation halt assessment, since some activities were wrapping up in 2004."
Experts from the UK, US, France, Russia, China and Germany debate how much progress Iran is making. Most of the talk is about uranium enrichment, the problems Iran is having in getting the centrifuges at the Natanz enrichment plant to work properly.
