Iran will reach nuclear weapons capabilities by the end of 2009, Gen. Yossi Baidatz, head of the research division of Israel's Military Intelligence service, reportedly told the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Baidatz said he believed the international community had already come to terms with a nuclear Iran.
Meanwhile, the British newspaper 'The Times' reported that Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei has not yet decided whether to give the go-ahead to build a nuclear weapon. Citing Western intelligence sources, the newspaper reports that, should Khamenei approve the building of a nuclear device, it would take six months to enrich enough uranium and another six months to assemble the warhead.
