| Israeli Defense Chief: Iran 'Months, Maybe Even Weeks' From Nuclear Bomb |
| 2021-01-28 |
| [NEWSMAX] The chief of staff for Israel's Defense Forces said this week Iran is close, just "months" or "weeks" away from developing a nuclear weapon, the Times of Israel reports. "No one has any doubt: Iran hopes, wants, identified, and built the capabilities necessary to be a military nuclear power, and maybe even use them when it decides it wants to," Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi said in a speech to Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies. He noted, if the country were to "rush ahead," it could complete a bomb in "months, maybe even weeks," due to its stockpile of enriched uranium and improved centrifuges. "There needs to be serious effort so that by the end, there won't — not only not be a bomb — but there won't be an ability to rush to a bomb," he added. Kohani appeared to call out President Joe Biden's desire to return to the nuclear agreement the Obama Administration made with Iran, when he went on to say, "The Iran of today is not the Iran of 2015 when the deal was signed." |
