Olmert tells Cabinet to mute criticism of US report on Iran nuclear program

None

Israel's prime minister told his Cabinet ministers Sunday to tone down their criticism of a US Intelligence report concluding that Iran has stopped its nuclear weapons program, an attempt to keep the disagreement from getting out of hand.

 

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's instructions came after one of his ministers warned that the US report could trigger a war. At the same time, officials said an intelligence delegation is in the US to press Israel's case that Iran is still working on a nuclear bomb. (AP)
