Iran will not have nuclear capability to produce a bomb before 2015, according to the Israeli Mossad's former Head.

Meir Dagan, who retired from his post as Mossad chief on Thursday after eight years in office, stated that in a briefing given to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee,

According to Dagan, Iran was a long way from being able to produce nuclear weapons, following a series of failures that had set its program back by several years, possibly a sign of foreign sabotage.

"Israel should not hasten to attack Iran, doing so only when the sword is upon its neck," Dagan also stated. Thus, he confirmed his position expressed on previous occasions that Israel should go to war only if attacked, or if in immediate danger of survival.
