| Iran would need 3-8 years to produce bomb: IAEA chief Reuters Iran would need three to eight years to produce a nuclear bomb, the head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said in an interview published on Monday. "I cannot judge their intentions, but supposing that Iran does intend to acquire a nuclear bomb, it would need between another three and eight years to succeed," Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told France's Le Monde newspaper.
"All the intelligence services agree on that," he said. ElBaradei said force should be used only when all diplomatic options have failed, adding there was plenty of time for diplomacy, sanctions, dialogue and incentives to bear fruit.
