IRAN PREZ BOASTS: NUKE PROGRAM HITTING 'PEAK'

    Iran's nuclear work is nearing a "peak," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said yesterday, while the U.N. atomic watchdog chief said Tehran was probably at least three years from making atom bombs if it chose to do so.

    Ahmadinejad dismissed Western pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear drive.

    "With God's help, the path to completely enjoying all nuclear capacity is near its end, and we are close to the peak," he told a rally in the central Iranian town of Isfahan.
