IDF: Iran May Go Nuclear in 6 Months;NATO:Go It Alone

According to the IDF, Iran will be able to produce nuclear weapons within six months. NATO says Israel must ‘go it alone’ according to Strategic Affairs Minister Avigdor Lieberman.The IDF Military Intelligence (MI) assessment was reported Tuesday to the Knesset and included a concrete assessment determining that Iran could cross the technological threshold required to produce nuclear weapons in the next 6-12 months and possess an operational warhead by the middle of 2009.The assessment is at odds with US estimates that put the date between 2010 and 2013.Both agree, however, that military strikes could set back the technology for years.IDF MI also is of the opinion that sanctions against Iran have not weakened the regime, because huge oil reserves still proivide all the money necessary to neutralize any pressure created by the international community.The assessment also revealed that Israel’s withdrawals-from Lebanon in 2000 and Gaza in 2005-have added precedents and solidified belief throughout the Middle East that armed struggle can achieve the destruction of Israel within this generation.
