'We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program,' reads a declassified version of the National Intelligence Estimate key findings. 'We judge with moderate confidence that the earliest possible date Iran would be technically capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium (HEU) for a weapon is late 2009.'"
