Iranian Nukes in 6 Months… Or Several Years

German intelligence reported this week that Iran could have a nuclear bomb in six months. Yesterday, however a spokesman for German foreign intelligence said, “we are talking about several years not several months.”
 
While the strange about-face by the Germans creates more confusion about when Iran will have a nuclear bomb, Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, has no doubt that “Iran definitely wants the technology that would enable it to have nuclear weapons.” The G8 has given Iran until September to agree to its terms of negotiation.
 
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamadinejad defiantly stated today that, “if each and every one of the Western countries that oppose Iran’s nuclear program joins forces, they would still fail to deprive the Iranian nation of its inalienable nuclear rights.” Raphael Israeli, in the summer 2007 issue of inFOCUS, stresses the grave dangers of an Iranian nuclear bomb.
