Obama: Iran a year away from nuclear bomb

Iran has about a year to produce an atomic bomb. That the U.S. President Barack Obama said in a Thursday on Israeli television broadcast interview.

The United States is doing everything in their power to prevent this, Obama assured Israeli viewers. The U.S. president, who visit Israel next week, prefers diplomacy still top military intervention. But if Israel’s arch-enemy in possession of nuclear weapons threatens to Obama shrinks at nothing to prevent that, he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously shown that he has less patience with Iran over its American patron. It is all in the coming months is all or nothing, thinks Netanyahu. Israel has repeatedly threatened even on his own to grab the weapons as Iran seems able to get an atomic bomb.
