JERUSALEM (JTA) — Iran will cross Israel’s “red line” for nuclear activity by this summer, Israel’s former director of military intelligence said.<\/p>\n

“In the summer, Iran will be a month or two away from deciding about a bomb,\u201d Amos Yadlin said Tuesday. “We have about two months to sleep soundly, until the [Iranian] elections. After that, I believe the Iranians will have to make a difficult decision.”<\/p>\n

Yadlin was speaking at a conference organized by Tel Aviv University\u2019s Institute for National Security Studies, which he serves as director.<\/p>\n

He also said Israel is capable of attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities without outside assistance and can take any Iranian response to such an attack, Haaretz reported.<\/p>\n

In a speech at the United Nations General Assembly last September, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew a “red line\u201d for Iran’s nuclear production, saying that Iran must halt uranium enrichment before it produces enough 20 percent-enriched uranium for one bomb.<\/p>\n
