US: Iran has enough material for nuclear weapon

The top US military official said Iran has sufficient fissile material for a nuclear weapon, declaring it would be a “very, very bad outcome” should Tehran move forward with a bomb.

Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, offered the assessment when questioned in a broadcast interview about a recent report by the UN nuclear watchdog on the state of Iran’s uranium enrichment programme, which can create nuclear fuel and may be sufficiently advanced to produce the core of warheads.
