In an unprecedented interview, the former head of Israel's spy service told 60 Minutes this week that Iran is nowhere near developing a nuclear weapon, and warned that if Israel attacks its neighbor, it would trigger a "rain of missiles" upon the Jewish state.
Meir Dagan, who ran Mossad for almost a decade with the singular focus of stopping Iran's nuclear program, told the CBS News program that there's a window of at least three years before Iran could feasibly develop nuclear weapons.
Attacking before then, he said, would be "the stupidest thing I have ever heard."
