Iran could develop a nuclear bomb in about a year and create the means for delivery in a further two to three years, the US defense chief said Sunday, reiterating President Barack Obama's determination to halt the effort.

"The United States -- and the president's made this clear -- does not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told the CBS program "60 Minutes."

"That's a red line for us. And it's a red line obviously for the Israelis so we share a common goal here."

It's like inviting a suicide bomber to your party!

by G. Rahmanian on

IR in its entirety has been a red line since the day the Mullahs took over the state of Iran.

To allow IR to acquire a nuclear bomb is tantamount to inviting a suicide bomber to a party where you have invited all your relatives, friends and neighbors.
