US mulling new assessment of Iran threat

US spy agencies are considering whether to rewrite a controversial 2007 intelligence report that asserted Tehran halted its efforts to build nuclear weapons in 2003, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

The possible reassessment comes as pressure is mounting from Congress and among US allies for the Obama administration to redo the 2007 assessment, after last month's revelation of a second uranium enrichment plant in Iran. (Reuters)
