The United States believes Iran is a year or a more away from being able to produce a nuclear weapon, President Barack Obama said in an interview with the Associated Press released on Saturday, although he described the estimate as "conservative."
"Our assessment continues to be a year or more away, and in fact, actually our estimate is probably more conservative than the estimates of Israeli intelligence services," Obama said in reply to a question about the U.S. intelligence assessment of Iran's ability to produce nuclear weapons.
Obama has directed U.S. officials to try to work out an agreement with Iran to allay international concerns about its nuclear program, an opportunity he has said is worth exploring after the election of the relatively moderate Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

If he’s saying a year away, they must have several warheads ready.
They may have shipped some to their buddies in South America already!
For defense, it is more “conservative” to prepare for a worst-case scenario and be ready to act.
“Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL battlestation!”
Iran has been 6 months away from nukes since 1974.
Give it up!!! Iran isn’t shooting your dog or crazy ladies in DC. Iran isn’t monitoring your communications and molesting your Mom @ the airport.
If you value freedom, your enemy is not Iran.
Next time Obunga makes a declaration of Iran’s Nuke capabilities it will be “ they will not have a bomb until Jan. 17th 2017, don’t be blaming me”
Roger that. My sentiments exactly.
And it must be accepted that Zer0 is covering for Iran against us.
No . . . Iran just wants to blow up the whole world with nukes so that their Mahdi will come and rescue them. No danger at all.
And just how do you know Iran isn’t behind all of that anyway? The politicians that are currently in power are sympathetic to Iran. Iran also has access to the intarwebs and can hack the NSA if they aren’t actually cooperating with them.
Yup, or even worse than that, their buddies in Mexico.
How long did it take the United States to obtain enough highly-enriched uranium, using 40’s technology, to build the bomb we used on Japan?
I can assure you, it IS accepted.
Obama will do or say anything to preempt the Israelis and take away their initiatives. He even said that US estimates are “more conservative” than Israeli Intel estimates - what a load of rubbish!
Clinton said the same thing about the NORKS and suddenly they were a nuke power.
Obama is holding the Israelis back in the hope that Iran will get the bomb and then it will be too late.
The world will be under Iranian nuke threat soon. Gas will cost $18.56 per gallon.
Obama also said that Obamacare would be cheaper for all of us.
And bozo wants to reduce sanctions against Iran????
Israelis are right to be disgusted with the punk in the WH!
Yes there is that very real possibility too.
Does ANYONE actually believe what odumbo says?
Barack Hussein Obama Our First SWAMP-GAS-American President
