The Times received “confidential intelligence documents” that claim Iran is “testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb”. The Times states that the document is mostly “technical” but are confirmation that the Iranian government is using the reason of making nuclear power plants as a cover for making a nuke. It later comes out that the document was faked.

Philip Giraldi who is a former United States CIA official releases information to IPS that the Document that the Times of London clams that Iran is close to having a nuke is forged. He also says that the United States was not involved with the forgery, but that Israel is probably behind it. Giraldi also goes on to say that news outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch have “been used extensively to publish false intelligence from the Israelis and occasionally from the British government”. The Times never reports that the documents was forged.
