UN: Iran has enough Uranium for a nuclear bomb

The Financial Times of London reports today that the United Nations is now saying that Iran has enough Uranium for a nuclear bomb.

Peter Zimmerman, former chief scientist of the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency said this,

“It appears that Iran has walked right up to the threshold of having enough low enriched uranium to provide enough raw material for a single bomb. It’s sure as hell certain that if they didn’t have it [enough] when the IAEA took these measurements, they will have it in a matter of weeks.”

If Benjamin Netanyahu does in fact become the next Prime Minister of Israel, as many expect, it will likely lead to a major conflict between Iran and Israel. As was noted a few days ago on this blog, perhaps that conflict has already begun.
