IRAN is just ten weeks away from having a nuclear bomb, Israel has warned as the country’s new hard line President takes office.
Ebrahim Raisi, known as the Butcher of Tehran from his days as a judge fond of dishing out brutal punishments, has been sworn in as the Islamic Republic’s new leader.
The 60-year-old hardliner allegedly ordered the torture of pregnant women, had prisoners thrown off cliffs, had people flogged with electric cords, and has overseen countless other brutal acts of violence.
As he took office, Israel’s defence minister Benny Gantz warned that Iran “about ten weeks away” from acquiring the materials for a warhead.
“Now is the time for deeds - words are not enough,” he told the news website Ynet.
