Iran may be a decade away from a nuclear weapon

I recently mentioned that Iran was set to remove the IAEA seals from one of its uranium-conversion facilities, thereby getting back in the nuclear game. Well, as the Post reports (see here), a new U.S. intelligence report indicates that Iran is still about a decade away from nuclear weaponry.

It seems reasonable to keep all options on the table, but there now seems to be adequate time to deal with Iran through non-military means. There’s evidently no need to rush into any sort of ill-advised, short-sighted military campaign (or to fix the intelligence around some equally ill-advised, short-sighted policy).
