Iran will possess the technology to build a nuclear bomb by early 2010 and be able to produce one the following year, Israeli media quoted Israel’s defense minister as saying Monday.
Defense Minister Ehud Barak delivered his assessment before the Israeli parliament’s defense and foreign affairs committee. It broadly matches assessments from other nations including the U.S., which estimates that Tehran could produce a nuclear weapon between 2010 and 2015.
So far this administration’s foreign policy is working out to be worse than ineffectual. Coddling dictators and supporting religious tyrants is not making the world safer, despite what the Nobel Committee wanted to believe.
