Iran, Gantz says, „is going step by step to the place where it will be able to decide whether to manufacture a nuclear bomb. It hasn‘t yet decided whether to go the extra mile.“

As long as its facilities are not bomb-proof, „the program is too vulnerable, in Iran‘s view. If the supreme religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wants, he will advance it to the acquisition of a nuclear bomb, but the decision must first be taken. It will happen if Khamenei judges that he is invulnerable to a response. I believe he would be making an enormous mistake, and I don‘t think he will want to go the extra mile. I think the Iranian leadership is composed of very rational people.“
