CNN reports that contrary to Israel's assessment that Operation 'With Courage' was necessary to prevent Iran from quickly developing a nuclear bomb, US intelligence estimated differently. According to CNN, US intelligence officials believe that "not only is Iran not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, it is also up to three years away from being able to produce one and deliver it to its target." The report, which relies on several different sources, notes that US intelligence now estimates that "Israel may have only set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months."
