A 2007 annual review the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London stated that "If and when Iran does have 3,000 centrifuges operating smoothly, the IISS estimates it would take an additional 9-11 months to produce 25 kg of highly enriched uranium, enough for one implosion-type weapon. That day is still 2-3 years away at the earliest."
why not come back here in 10 years and assess whether iran has the bomb or not? all efforts are meant to delay the fact that iran gets the bomb in 1-3 years, nothing more
another thing to consider is the fact that a country may have the technology, raw materials, and the capital to produce nuclear weapons within a very short period of time if necessary. countries such as germany, japan or south africa fall into this category and are generally considered nuclear states. if iran doesn`t acquire the bomb, it may reach the status of these countires. so, which is worse? |
