Video - Rep. Rogers questions Obama timeline for Iran attack: Iran could have nuclear weapons in under one year.(TheHill).A top House Republican is casting doubt on President Obama's assertion that it will be nearly a year until Iran will be able to develop a nuclear weapon.


"I wouldn't be as certain where the president is [on the timeline] and the Israelis believe it's going to be sooner than that," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union.

"That's why the pressure is mounting for some action [against Iran]," Rogers said. "Maybe other than sanctions for Iran so they get the signal that we really won't tolerate them getting a nuclear weapon and then proliferating nuclear weapons across the Middle East.”

During an interview with Israeli television last Thursday, Obama said that Tehran is still over a year away from building a viable ballistic weapon.

“Right now, we think it would take over a year or so for Iran to actually develop a nuclear weapon, but obviously we don’t want to cut it too close,” Obama said.Video and full story here.
