IDF Military Intelligence: Iran Could Have Nuke by 2009

[Jerusalem Post] Mark Weiss and Sheera Claire Frenkel - Iran could have nuclear weapons by 2009, the Head of Military Intelligence's Research Division, Brig.-Gen. Yossi Baidatz, told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday. "Iran's conservative sect is gaining power. The Iranian regime is faced with internal issues, but there is no threat to its existence or stability. Assuming it faces no difficulties, the worst-case scenario is Iran obtaining nuclear arms by 2009." Also Tuesday, Transportation Minister and former Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in New York: "Iran's nuclear program is proceeding like an express train. The diplomatic efforts to thwart Iran are like a slow train. If we cannot derail the Iranian train from the tracks, we are on the verge of a nuclear era that will totally alter the regional reality."
