Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said on Sunday that Israel's stance on the Iranian nuclear issue would not change despite a U.S. report released last week.

According to local daily Yedioth Ahronoth's website, Olmert made the comment at Sunday's security cabinet meeting.

This is his first official response to the U.S. intelligence report, which determined that Iran had halted its development of nuclear weapons in 2003.

Olmert was quoted as saying that Israeli intelligence officials had not been convinced that Israel's position on the Iranian program should change.
