So, yet again, Israel has issued one of their regular sky-is-falling "Iran soon to have nukes" scaremongering predictions.
Here's a quick look back on some past predictions about Iran's nuclear "weapons":
"The Iranians may have an atom bomb within two years, the authoritative Jane’s Defence Weekly warned. That was in 1984, two decades ago. Four years later, the world was again put on notice, this time by Iraq, that Tehran was at the nuclear threshold, and in 1992 the CIA foresaw atomic arms in Iranian hands by 2000. Then U.S. officials pushed that back to 2003. And in 1997 the Israelis confidently predicted a new date - 2005."
