Thanks Angelica for the article. The last paragraph is the most salient. This is pretty much what John Stewart was saying this week on The Daily Show. The Israeli PM has been banging on for more than a decade that Iran is 'close' to acquiring nukes. Fast forward to today, and he saying the same thing that was supposedly so urgent all those many years ago. So why now?
I don't understand this objection. Being “one month away” from having a nuclear weapon simply means that if they started right now, it would take them a month to build one. It does not mean that they would have one in a month. It is entirely plausible that Iran has been one month away from having a nuke for a decade.
