Israel: Iran Overcoming Nuclear Program Problems
(AFP) Iran is gradually overcoming problems in its nuclear program, and could still detonate a nuclear device within a year if it put its mind to it, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told CNN in Washington. But Barak said Iran was "several years" from having the capability of putting a nuclear weapon on a medium-range missile. "It's clear they had certain holdups along the way and they are moving slower than expected... but the painful fact is they keep moving forward. They are overcoming gradually the difficulties they faced."
