Recent statements have been made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that Iran will have 90% enriched uranium in 6 months' time, and Martin Indyk, who said that in 2013 there will be a direct confrontation between Iran and the US. While technological progress has been made in Iran on producing nuclear weapons, the timeline is something to be seen. As to the prediction of a US-Iranian confrontation, several things need to take place before. Although there is much discussion over the components that would warrant an American attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, the results of the US presidential election will ultimately have a serious bearing as to what to do with Iran.
