Israel, US disagree on Iran timetable
Israel and the US disagree on what would be a realistic timetable for stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, Israel's defense minister said Thursday, but stopped short of threatening unilateral Israeli action.       

Ehud Barak reiterated concerns that Iran is trying to make its suspected nuclear weapons program immune from attack before taking a decision on assembling atomic bombs.       

Israel "cannot afford" to wait in such a situation, Barak told Israel Radio.       

However, several more months can be given to allow sanctions and negotiations to work, he said. During this period, it would become clear "if the Iranians intend or don't intent to stop their nuclear weapons program."       

In the interview, Barak argued that superior U.S. military capabilities and America's position as a world power lead to its different stance on the subject of Iranian nuclear threats.       

Israel feels directly threatened by a nuclear Iran, Barak stressed.
