My Comment: The Israeli Intelligence Chief is blunt in his assessment .... the Iranian nuclear program is bent to position Iran to produce nuclear bomb material in as short a time as possible. The Israelis should know .... they are experts at concealing their own program.

Coupled with reports like this one .... Iran began nuclear arms plants in 2000: opposition .... we now have the Israelis evolving their approach towards Iran from one of observing what the Iranians were doing, to now actively planning what can be done to nullify this threat.

Either way .... nothing good is going to come out of this impeding conflict .... and the Israeli Intelligence Chief clearly knows this.
