1) According to the Report Iran did develop a secret nuclear
military programme, stopped it in 2003 and is able of renewing it
at any moment.
2) The abortion of the programme is a confirmation of the
successful international community pressure and this pressure
concerning the nuclear programme of Iran should continue in the
future.
3) According to the Report Iran will be probably able of
producing sufficient quantity of nuclear material for a nuclear
bomb between 2010 and 2015. That corresponds to current
estimations. In this time schedule the European pillar of
antimissile defense should be in place.
4) The Report covers the nuclear programme, not the programme
of missile carriers development. This programme continues, as it
was confirmed recently by Iran announcing a test of the Ashura
solid-fueled ballistic missile.
5) For these reasons the Report of the U.S. intelligence
services will not influence the position of the Czech Government on
further negotiations with the USA concerning a possible location of
a radar base on the Czech territory.
