Iran ‘within months’ of nuke

If Iran abrogates international agreements that seek to restrict Tehran’s nuclear capabilities, the move could trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and Persian Gulf, warned Olli Heinonen, former deputy director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA.

 

Speaking Sunday on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s AM 970 The Answer, Heinonen said even with the current implementation of an interim international deal with Iran, the country is still capable of assembling a nuclear weapon “within months.”

 

He accused Iran of having an “unfortunate history of misleading and not disclosing all its nuclear material.”
