Iran Could Have Nuclear Weapons by 2012, CIA Chief Warns


1 Thessalonians 5:3, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

Zechariah 14:12, “And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”

“Iran has enough low-enriched uranium to produce two nuclear weapons, which it could have prepared and ready for delivery as early as 2012, Leon Panetta, the CIA director, said on Sunday.

Tehran would need a year to enrich the uranium fully to produce a bomb and it would take ‘another year to develop the kind of weapon delivery system in order to make that viable,’ Mr Panetta said.

Sanctions imposed by the United Nations could help weaken Tehran’s government by creating economic problems, but were unlikely to put an end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Mr Panetta told the ABC network’s ‘This Week’ programme.

Ayatollah Khamenei’s decision is based on a belief by the Islamic regime’s strategists that both America and Israel lack the courage and the ability to dismantle the Iranian nuclear facilities. The Iranian regime believes that America and Israel fear Iran’s retaliation, and that it has had them frozen in place and confused as to what action to take next. They have concluded that this presents a great opportunity for the Iranian regime to become a nuclear-armed state without any interference from the outside.” Read more.

‘The U.S. is in the line of fire’, warns Iran’s elite military commander – “A senior Iranian military commander sent panic through the world today after making a chilling claim today that his country has the ability to produce even longer range missiles than those currently in its arsenal. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Guard’s Aerospace Force, said that the U.S. and it’s ‘Zionist regime’ was in the line of fire. The remarks came as Iran is conducting 10 days of war games designed as a show of strength amid a standoff with the West over the country’s controversial nuclear programme.” Read more.
