Israel's intelligence assessment published Friday claims Iran will not be able to produce a nuclear bomb before 2015.
Mossad director Meir Dagan, says Israel is confident in US-led sanctions against Iran and other actions designed to discourage or delay Iran's uranium enrichment programs.
Apart from Iran's nuclear issues, the assessment also notes Israel has not formally ruled out a military option against Iran but that seems less likely in the immediate future.
Professor Gerald Steinberg, Chief Scholar, Israel's Bar-ilan University, said, "The most important issue that he said was that, according to his estimate, Iran would not have a nuclear weapons capability until at least 2015. That's another almost five years from now and after a long period in which everybody was expecting that Iran will have nuclear weapons at any time. This was a major revelation."
