During the next several months of 2013, Iran could shorten the timeline required for 'nuclear dash' to about one month. A recent report claims Tehran is expected to achieve a critical capability in mid-2014. "Preventing Iran from achieving a critical capability through sanctions, increased frequency of international inspections, and negotiations is a priority". The report understated.

Before the Moscow talks began, President Ahmadinejad said that Iran would be willing to forgo enrichment to 20 percent, in return for fuel for the Tehran research reactor. After the negotiations failed, expecting Iran to abandon its indigenous enrichment in exchange of a supply of 3.5 percent enriched fuel for its Bushehr nuclear power reactor seems unrealistic.

The biggest threat from a nuclear Iran is Teheran's becoming an 'invincible' power in the Middle east, protected by home made yet effective 'nuclear deterrence'. Most vulnerable would be the Arab countries and Gulf States with Suni majority. Israel will remain a side show in such inter-Muslim conflict
