My Way News - Diplomats: Iran's enrichment program stagnates

My Way News reports: "The existence of a secret Iranian enrichment program built on black market technology was revealed seven years ago and since then the country has continued to expand it with only a few interruptions as it works toward its stated goal of a 50,000-centrifuge enrichment plan. [...] The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security recently estimated that, even taking the 5,000-centrifuge figure as a basis, Iran could accumulate enough material to produce weapons-grade uranium for two warheads by February 2010."

Israel weighs Iranian threat - CNN.com
CNN reports: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not missed an opportunity to name Iran as the number one threat, and like his predecessors he has said Israel will not tolerate a nuclear Iran."

Comment: So, six months from now, according to the ISIS estimate, Iran may be in a position to launch two nuclear warheads. Six months. The clock is ticking.
