Iran's Nuclear Program: "They Can Set Off A Bomb Within Six Months"

Iran will soon be able to produce atomic bombs and to perform underground nuclear testing, just as North Korea has done, experts in the German Foreign Intelligence Service (BND) have told the weekly, Hamburg-based news magazine stern. "If they want to, they will be able to set off a uranium bomb within six months," a BND-expert is quoted in the latest edition of stern magazine to be published on Thursday.

If true, an Israeli strike would be moot.

How will the Israeli attack affect us here? Higher gas prices, for one thing.

[null and void]

Yes, yes, yes.

But the key question remains: Tel Aviv or Washington?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Biden and 0bama will say go ahead. I cannot believe the times we are living in. It is frightening.

[2harddrive]

That is because OUR country is not HIS country.

Information from "Der Stern" should always be taken with a grain of salt:

do I really have to say it???

[palmer]

They won't waste one by testing it underground.

If that happens then Israel will have two things:
A bunch of enriched uranium to clean up;
All the proof they need to take out Iran's facilities (and some to spare).

The better use of nuclear weapons from Iran's perspective is blackmail and it is already working even without a test.
