17 March, 2010Iran nuclear bomb 'efforts delayed': Petraeus
US General David Petraeus said yesterday Iranian efforts to develop a nuclear weapon appear to have been delayed "a bit" and voiced confidence it would not have a bomb this year.
"It has, thankfully, slid to the right a bit and it is not this calendar year, I don't think," the head of the US Central Command, which oversees wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, told a Senate panel on being asked when Iran would have a nuclear weapon.
