Iran Will Know How to Build Bomb in 6 Months -Israel Wed Feb 16, 2005 05:38 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Iran is six months away from having the knowledge to build a nuclear bomb, Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said on Wednesday. "The question is not if the Iranians will have a nuclear bomb in 2009, 10 or 11, the main question is when are they going to have the knowledge to do it. We believe that in six months from today they will end all the tests and experiments they are doing to have that knowledge," Shalom said on a visit to London. Iran, which has said its nuclear program is for energy needs only, has warned it would both retaliate and accelerate its drive to master nuclear technology if the United States or Israel attacked its atomic facilities. Israel, believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear power, has hinted it could hit Iran militarily to stop it getting the bomb. "They are trying very hard to develop the nuclear bomb. This kind of extreme regime with a nuclear bomb is a nightmare, not only for us," Shalom told reporters. The chief of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency said in January that Iran was on the brink of enriching uranium, a process key to building a nuclear bomb. "Iran is involved in many terrorist attacks in our region," Shalom said. "We should do everything to isolate the hard-liners and empower the moderates." France, Britain and Germany have tried in talks with Iran to persuade the oil-rich country to drop its nuclear fuel-making program in return for economic incentives.
