Iran: U.S. must 'pay the price' for nuclear accusations

[Amerigo Vespucci]

(CNN) -- Iran said Tuesday the Bush administration must "pay the price" for what it called "lies" concerning Tehran's nuclear program. A declassified summary of a National Intelligence Estimate released by the U.S. government on Monday said Iran had stopped working toward a nuclear weapon in 2003 and is unlikely to be able to produce enough enriched uranium for a bomb until at least 2010.

The estimate is less severe than a 2005 report that judged the Iranian leadership was "determined to develop nuclear weapons despite its international obligations and international pressure."

On its Web site, Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency called the updated estimate "a necessary and positive step in Tehran-Washington relations, but undoubtedly is not sufficient." "The U.S. administration should know that only admitting a mistake is not enough," the IRNA report said.

Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham, quoted on the IRNA site, was more harsh but offered no specifics. "U.S. officials have so far inflicted ... damage on the Iranian nation by spreading lies against the country and by disturbing public opinion, therefore, they have to pay the price for their action," Elham is quoted as saying.
