Israeli Intelligence: Iran Three Months Away from a Bomb
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Israeli intelligence reports that Iran is now three months away from manufacturing a nuclear weapon - three months from when its leadership decides to do so. American intelligence organizations are a bit more optimistic, but they also admit that in the best-case scenario the new agreement will lengthen the Iranian bomb-making process by only a few months. It's doubtful whether a permanent deal will be signed later because it's not at all certain the Iranians want one. Meanwhile, Israeli intelligence will try to reveal Iranian deception that would let Netanyahu keep telling the world "I told you so." But as long as there is such sweeping international support for the interim agreement, an Israeli military option isn't in play, at least not at this stage.
