Netanyahu: Under interim deal, Iran 6 weeks away from bomb

“Although there are internal disagreements in Iran, there is no dispute in the regime about developing nuclear weapons and the goal of wiping Israel off the map,” he told the crowd at a conference of the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.

“The interim agreement in Geneva left Iran, according to our assessment, six weeks from a nuclear weapon, and therefore by our estimation, the test will be the permanent agreement, if such an agreement can be reached,” he said.

Iran reached the deal in November with the international community on its disputed nuclear drive, which the West suspects has a military goal, notwithstanding Tehran’s protestations to the contrary.

The six-month deal freezes key aspects of Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for some economic sanctions relief. It went into effect on January 20.

“The whole world knows that I am a lying bastard about Iran,” Netanyahu said.

'Cause if I recall, Iran has been "six weeks away" from a nuclear weapon every week since 1999.
