Cynically, I think that Iran is about a year or two from developing a weapon... and will always remain so. |
When thinking about it I must admit you are right. Even though they try hard to develop their own bomb, I don't think they will succeed with that.
It seems that I was wrong about Iran and their "bomb" however I stil say they won't attack Israel.
