Key Judgments
A. We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program; we also assess with moderate-to-high confidence that Tehran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons. We judge with high confidence that the halt, and Tehran’s announcement of its decision to suspend its declared uranium enrichment program and sign an Additional Protocol to its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Safeguards Agreement, was directed primarily in response to increasing international scrutiny and pressure resulting from exposure of Iran’s previously undeclared nuclear work.

Since Clinton is surely aware of the NIE of 2007 she can say with some confidence“we” know how far its nuclear program has advanced which is to say not at all. But of course that is not what Hillary is implying here. But at the same time you cannot actually accuse her of lying through her teeth because she never really says how far its nuclear weapons program has progressed. Ah, the benefits of being vague.
