An IDF report published on Tuesday assesses that Iran will achieve military nuclear capabilities within 2 years. The report, released by the IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate (MID), suggests that Iran continues to advance its efforts and nuclear capabilities, estimating that it will have enough material to construct a nuclear payload within a year and a missile to transport the warhead within two.
The publication of the yearly assessment was postponed by a week following the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani by a U.S. drone, which the report cited as a “restraining event” for the region’s future.
Soleimani’s death also poses an opportunity to attack dozens of Iranian military sites in Syria and damage its consolidation of forces in the area, a notion affirmed by several senior Israeli security officials.
