Nuclear Nasties

It's about the regime being in a position to force concessions from the West through its potential to build an atom bomb", says nuclear physicist Behrooz Bayat. However, there's a fear that Israel will respond to this threat with violence. "They already have the knowledge to build their own nuclear bomb! Now is the time for decisions", says the director of Israeli military intelligence.
