IRAN'S NUKE PROGRAM RACES ALONG

Iran Able to Enrich Uranium in Six Months - David Ratner (Ha'aretz) Iran could become capable of enriching uranium in six months and develop atomic weapons in two years if it is not stopped by the West, Military Intelligence head Maj. Gen. Aharon Ze'evi said at Haifa University's National Security Studies Center Tuesday.

"The Iranians can reach Portugal with nuclear weapons," Ze'evi said. "This doesn't worry the Europeans; they tell me that during the Soviet regime as well they were under a nuclear threat, and I try to explain to them that Iran is a different story."
