London Telegraph newspaper: Possible nuclear Iran in three years


As I've remarked before, the news out of Iran is bad, but at least the Iranian threat is being recognized as a menace by governments other than the US and Israel. And it looks like the mad mullahs are closer to getting a bomb than we had thought.

From Con Coughlin of the Telegraph:

Intelligence sources say Iran will begin feeding converted uranium into 164 centrifuges at Natanz this week. That could enable it to create enriched uranium of sufficient quality for nuclear weapons production within three years.

Previous estimates of the minimum time required had ranged from five to 10 years.
