I'm skeptical. First, they assume the Iranians goal of enrichment is specifically for nuclear weapons. Second, what intelligence are they using to base their assumptions. Does this institute know something the CIA does not know? I don't think so. They didn't even mention how they got to this "Iran could have enough enriched uranium for the bomb" conclusion. Third, there is no evidence of an ongoing Iranian nuclear weapons program, so one can't even make the assumption of an Iranian nuclear weapons program. The Israelis don't even have that evidence...

I would like to see a NWFZ in the middle east, just like south america.
this would require a certain member state to disband their entire stockpile. and sign the NPT.

Now now, we all know that member state and its daddy don't subscribe to international laws unless it serves their own interest.

Oh here we go again with the typical bullshit intelligence from CIA
I hope they get a damn nuke just to piss off Israel.
The stupid Israelis kept this charade going on, i mean for the last 2 years they have been spreading bullshit about Iran being close to a bomb or having one at the end of the year..
Now the end of the year came and no bomb... They are full of shit, period!

OMG, Iran will develop its first nuke and then attack Israel so that it can get nuked in return! BEWARE OF THE LOGIC.

The exact same logic established the paradigm through which we viewed the international system during the Cold War.

"preemptive" strikes will probably happen before anything is finished, unless the Iranians can outsmart the Mossaad and hide their stash.
Iraq...Syria...now Iran.

my God you people can't pay attention to save your damn lives it seems like.
1) this isn't the CIA saying this. it's the IISS
2) the CIA said in November 2007 Iran probably stopped their weaponization program in 2003 >LINK< something just about every Bush hater here lauded in it's apparent rebuke of Chimpy McBushitler's Iran policy...retards
3) the IISS has stated repeatedly essentially the same thing in 2006 stating that it was "inevitable" >HERE< and again in 2007 saying they were 2-3 years away >HERE< it's 2009 and guess what?
