| Iran Not Yet Able to Make Nuclear Weapons: Israel |
| 2010-12-31 |
| [Tolo News] An Israeli minister has said Iran has not yet found the ability to make nuclear weapons. The minister said Iran's nuclear programme has been hit by technical problems, and it could be still three years away from making a bomb. Iranian nuclear programme had faced "a number of technological challenges and difficulties", said Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Yaalon. "So we can't talk about a point of no return. Iran does not have the ability to create nuclear weapons by itself at the moment," he further said. The Western countries in particular the United States of America doubts that Iran nuclear enrichments are intended for war purposes. Iran had previously said that the Stuxnet worm had attacked its computers, but denied that it had destroyed the nuclear programme. Israeli officials consider Iran the greatest threat to its security, because of the nuclear programme and anti-Israeli stance of the Iranian leader. |

| #3 The corollary to this, however, is that you don't have to make nuclear weapons to have nuclear weapons. As an aside, Debka is now saying that Pakistan has offered nukes to Saudi Arabia, to be stored in Pakistan until they are requested. And that the Saudis have now stationed a transport aircraft near where the Pakistani nukes are stored, so they can be rapidly moved as needed. |

| #1 The minister said Iran's nuclear programme has been hit by technical problems... Translation: "The ultimate in Excedrin Headaches resulting from ...ahem...malfunctioning cell phones. You know, the ones with the defective batteries. Yeah, defective batteries! That's the ticket!" |
