US Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe has expressed doubts about Iran's readiness to implement future agreements with Washington on its nuclear program. He has already presented his assessments to US President Donald Trump.
This was reported by Axios with reference to informed sources.
According to the publication, Ratcliffe informed Trump and other senior officials about intelligence data that may indicate discrepancies between Tehran's public position and its internal intentions regarding the future agreement.
According to Axios' interlocutors, American intelligence has concluded that discussions of the nuclear deal within the Iranian leadership differed from the signals that Tehran was sending to mediators and US representatives.
"Intelligence indicates that Iran's intentions are not consistent with its obligations under the terms of the agreement," one of the sources said.
It is noted that these assessments have intensified discussions in the US administration about how reliable Iran's guarantees can be in the event of a final nuclear agreement.
Officially, neither the White House nor the Iranian side have yet commented on the content of the intelligence reports.
Recall that the United States and Iran have reached an agreement to sign a memorandum of understanding, which provides for the cessation of hostilities between the parties.
The United States insists that Iran should not obtain nuclear weapons, and current sanctions may remain in force until Tehran fulfills all the terms of the agreement.
