Iran would need until 2013 to produce weapon-grade nuclear material, the U.S. State Department's intelligence office concluded in a report provided to lawmakers earlier this year (see GSN, Aug. 5).


The determination, reached by the department's Intelligence and Research Bureau, was disclosed in a
document obtained by the Federation of American Scientists through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Washington Post reported today.
