Olli Heinonen, who headed the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) security team and served as the organizations' deputy director general, on Wednesday morning told Army Radio that Israelis on the whole are not aware of the severity of the Iranian threat.
Yes, we have been hearing this for some time now, that Iran is only "months away" from having nuclear weapons, and so far it has not come to pass. But Iran not getting a nukes is not due to their lack of trying, not at all. Now, the former head of the IAEA says Iran, if present trends continue, will indeed have a nuclear weapon between now and the end of our current calendar year.
A lot of people back in the 1920's refused to
take Adolf Hitler seriously because no one ever thought he could pull it off, it was
a running joke right up to the moment the
blood began to run through Europe. If memes were popular back then the '
well, that escalated quickly' one would have been quite applicable. No, America, the Middle East and especially Israel need to sound the alarm because one day, Iran
will have nuclear weapons and they will use them. At that point it will be too late.
Iran is 'six months away from an atomic bomb'
FROM ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS: "Israelis need to be worried, and the Gulf states also have reason for concern," Heinonen said. "How will you be able to ensure your security if Iran achieves nuclear abilities?"
In the full interview, which will be aired Thursday morning, Heinonen said that despite IAEA's claims, Iran can develop nuclear weapons in up to six to eight months.
Slamming IAEA's handling of the threat, Heinonen said the agency ignores Tehran's race to achieve nuclear weapons. In his opinion, even the Trump administration's
decision to leave the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or "Iran deal" serves Iran's purposes.
