Iran could be armed with a nuclear weapon within just over a month, Maariv reports Thursday. The report was forwarded to diplomats and international experts this week.

Israeli experts have estimated that Tehran’s schedule for nuclear enrichment has only been delayed for up to two weeks, according to the report, less than one week after a deal has been reached between Western powers and the Iranian government regarding the nuclear program. …

The concern in Israel is that Iran will wait for an international crisis, or an internal crisis in the United States, as a prime opportunity to drop a nuclear bomb on its enemies. …

The Marxist should be impeached.

Good this means Israel is going to F!@# Iran up. Turn that whole country into glass Bibi. The women are just going to spawn more that will kill you, and their children are going to grow up being brainwashed into killing you.

Maariv reports Thursday.

The timing of the report is troubling.

The concern in Israel is that Iran will wait for an international crisis, or an internal crisis in the United States, as a prime opportunity to drop a nuclear bomb on its enemies. …

Why would they wait for a crisis? A nuke is a crisis unto itself.

That’s an awfully specific “estimate”... which makes me skeptical of it automatically.

Eh? What would motivate Israel to lie? especially to make such a contrast as to have Obama appear to be telling the truth?

The operating word is “could”, not “is going to”. It’s a comment on Iran’s capability.

It makes perfect sense. They had to be within the six month period just extended to them, compliments of Iranian born Valerie Jarrett. That’s what the deal was about - giving them some unfettered extra time.

Quite an accomplishment by two losers in office, one worse than his predecessor.

Bush II, instead of moving ON and taking OUT the ayatollahs when we had the military presence AND momentum AND support of SOME elements in Iran, chose to listen to the Neocons and idiots like Rove, etc, and try to make a purse out of sow’s ear by leading a bunch of reluctant Islamic asses in Iraq towards an unachievable goal of “democracy”.

His SUCCESSOR, the Monster in the Oval Office, has ACTIVELY CONSPIRED to assist the enemies of America, as his Marxist goal is to destroy American military hegemony overseas while re-directing military and police initiatives INWARDS against law-abiding American citizens to destroy their constitutional rights.

I wonder if I can build a bomb shelter in 36 days?

On the 37th Day they will detonate the bomb over Tel Avive. It will be a dirty bomb too. Second bomb over Haffa. The USA will have to move the people to the USA. BUT Israel will counter attack—and there will be no large cities left in Iran. Israel will be no more.

They launch their one nuke on a MRBM aimed at Israel - missile is shot down before it leaves Iranian airspace, followed by an Israeli launch of 4 weapons from sub-launched cruise missiles, flattening 4 large Iranian nuke facilities.

Israel is roundly condemned by every nation at the UN, including Obama's own Islamic States of Amerika.

If not 36 days, then maybe 37. They shouldn’t feel badly. Even obamacare is behind schedule.

Zero and J-F’n-K have put Israel in a bad place. If they attack now, the whole world turns against them. If they don’t attack, Iran will find a way to nuke them. Let’s hope Mossad is good enough to track/stop/and have evidence as a spark to the attack.

I hope you are wrong. But I believe, like you, that the Persians will make multiple attacks at once. The Iranians want more than one bomb where they will attack and then threaten attack with their other nukes.

“awfully specific “estimate”

It comes from the Institute for Science and International Security.
http://isisnucleariran.org/

Straight from (CNN) —
“Iran may need only a month to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb, a U.S.-based anti-proliferation group says in a new assessment of Tehran’s enrichment program.
But that is only if the country were able to take the most extreme and direct enrichment path, says the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington. Under other scenarios, it would take significantly longer for Tehran to produce the material — more than 11 months in one estimate.”

I feel safe with Barack Hussein Obama or Soetoro at the helm, don’t you?

Thank you.

The truth is that Iran has 200 kilos of 20% and could enrich to 90% in a month, at least enough for two bombs.

The rest of the truth, that this article ignores, is that you have to make it portable and you have to know how to detonate it. You also have to shape the fuel into spherical segments that can implode.

The Iranians are years away, if ever, from doing this. So there is no point stirring up America with incomplete facts that only reveal Israel’s desperation to hold the world’s ear by constantly crying wolf.

Bibi, we are not so stupid, we can think for ourselves and you are not going to drag us into another war. Resolve your own problems with the Palestinians in your back yard.

I don't think fission bombs "implode". You just have to slam two sub-critical masses together hard enough to create one critical mass.
