Washington, Mar 5 : Iran has ready access to enough fissile material to produce up to 50 nuclear weapons and can develop a nuclear bomb within a year, according to a panel of experts advising the Obama Administration officials.
William Schneider, Jr., chairman of the Defense Science Board and a former under secretary of state in the Reagan administration, offered those estimates on Wednesday announcing the release of a new "Presidential Task Force" report on Iran by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
