Iran about to obtain nuclear weapons

Britain’s MI6 Chief Sir John Sawers has given his first public opinion on the state of the Iranian nuclear program, noting that the UK was hindering Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Sawers emphasized that without British intelligence’s efforts, Iran would have acquired nuclear weapons in 2008, Rosbalt reports.

MI6 predicts that Iran will have nuclear weapons before 2014.

The intelligence chief presented a report about Iranian nuclear projects and Israel’s ability to attack facilities to the government.

Experts say that the public statement was made to convince the international community that US and Israeli intelligence services are not the only ones standing in Tehran’s way towards nuclear weapons.

The Pentagon said that Iran continued development of low-range ballistic missiles. Iran was conducting military drills all over the country, building new ships and submarines. Iran may be able to test its first intercontinental ballistic missile with “foreign aid” in 2015.
