In an interview with the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director-general Mohamed ElBaradei that aired on Al-Arabiya TV on June 20, 2008, the world got updated on the progress of the Iranian nuclear program. He had the following comments:
"If Iran wants to turn to the production of nuclear weapons, it must leave the NPT [Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty] , expel the IAEA inspectors, and then it would need at least... Considering the number of centrifuges and the quantity of uranium Iran has...It would need at least six months to one year. It would need this period to produce a weapon, and to obtain highly-enriched uranium in sufficient quantities for a single nuclear weapon."
So there you have it. Even the Islamic World considers Iran to be only a year away from making a nuclear bomb. I say the Islamic World because I consider the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director-general Mohamed ElBaradei to be nothing more than a "mouth-piece" for the Islamic World.
I imagine that the Israeli's are getting their strike forces ready as I write this. I hope that the US is also getting ready.
