(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Iran's enriching uranium to the 5% level will reduce its breakout time to a nuclear weapon by two months, former deputy director-general for safeguards at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Olli Heinonen told the Jerusalem Post on Sunday.

Heinonen said that enriching uranium up to the 20% level, as it seems to be threatening, means that 85% of the effort will have been completed.
