| 0:00.0 | This is John Bachelor, a conversation with colleague Andrea Stricker of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy |
| 0:06.0 | is not only about breakout the time that Iran needs to make fissile material that's quality for a bomb, but also how long it will take for |
| 0:16.5 | Iran to create a warhead, miniaturize a bomb, and mounted on a missile. Andrea has an estimate based upon US and Israel and |
| 0:27.0 | analysis. So the bomb, yes, but the warhead for the missile next. |
| 0:35.0 | There's more of this tonight. |
| 0:37.0 | Thank you. |
| 0:38.0 | That would be separate. |
| 0:39.0 | That would probably be additional time. |
| 0:41.0 | I believe the US and Israel estimate that would take at least 18 months |
| 0:44.9 | because it involves, yeah, you're correct, putting a weapon on a missile fitting it |
| 0:50.5 | into the payload of the modified Chahab 3 likely. |
| 0:55.0 | And that is something that they probably have not mastered, |
| 0:59.0 | but could do so in under two years, I would say. |
