WASHINGTON – U.S. officials have convinced Israel that Iran needs at least a year to develop a nuclear weapon, dimming prospects of an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, The New York Times reports.
Israeli officials thought Iran could develop nuclear weapons within months. But Gary Samore, President Barack Obama's top adviser on nuclear issues, told the Times he thinks it would take Tehran "roughly a year" to turn low-enriched uranium into weapons-grade material.
"A year is a very long period of time," Samore was quoted by the newspaper in an report posted on its website late Thursday.
The assessment is based on U.S. intelligence and international inspectors' reports.

Israel is convinced by anyone with any connections to Obama? Unbelievable.
The Israeli government is convinced.. but I bet BeeBee isn’t..
Real credible sources there, especially after what they did to GWB two years back.
IMHO, there’s way too much disinformation flying around about this. Screw it. When Israel attacks, I’ll believe it.
Scan these articles quickly. If no Israeli is quoted, assume BS and go on to something else.
Bolton’s take on it is probably the best. Once the poisonous materials are in the reactor or in weapons grade state, the world opinion/reaction to spreading that all over Iran and the persian gulf by blowing it up is more than Israel can allow. Unless that site is obliterated very soon—like, tonight or tomorrow—the insane Iranian will get his nuclear weapons and the world will be a very different place, thanks to the Mooselimb Bastard boy America placed in the White Hut. Democrats have accomplished what they lusted for lo these past fifty years ... they have ended the We The People Republic and replaced it with a federal oligarchy that they will now control.
el bareidi is still laughing!
If this proceeds, it will be another step closer to the death of western civilization. They have two strategies for Europe, weapons and wombs.
Agree, I don't imagine that he would be convinced about anything coming from them.
Iran must be very close to building the bomb...
I think you might be right.
Russia.
That's also true, Upchuck. Good point.
Yeah but they only need ONE DAY to purchase a NUKE.
Given that Benjamin Netanyahu is the only adult in the mix, I seriously doubt that he's willing to take the word of the Obama regime.I mean, Jewish people are entitled to live and Israel has the right to exist!
Sad but true. They don't care though. Remember, this is the all change no hope administration.
They desire to create a new Euroweinig state out of our country.
Also true and good point.
Agree! Prayers up for his continued insight.
Its time 4 my Jewish buds 2 rock an roll
