(Reuters) Justyna Pawlak and Parisa Hafezi - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday Iran has the ability to produce fissile material for a nuclear bomb in two months. "We're operating with a time period for a so-called 'break-out' of about two months," Kerry testified at a Senate hearing. His comments highlighted Western concerns about Iran's nuclear intentions and the wide divisions between the two sides that could still foil a deal. The overarching goal of the powers in the talks is to persuade Iran to scale back its program to the point that it would take it much longer, perhaps as much as a year, to produce fuel for a bomb if it chose to do so.
