Iran on the Verge of Testing First Nuclear Weapon, Say Foreign Intel Agencies.

Iran’s Illicit Nuclear Weapons Program

According to intelligence estimates from three separate countries, Iran is actively pursuing illicit nuclear weapons technology across Europe and is dangerously close to testing its first nuclear warhead.

“The Iranian regime has consistently sought to obtain technology for its illegal nuclear program and ballistic missile apparatus,”

The Netherlands General and Intelligence Security Service revealed in April that they have successfully prevented Russia and Iran from acquiring Dutch knowledge or technology for their nuclear weapons programs. This information was published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Furthermore, the Netherlands’ intelligence service has determined that Tehran’s advancements, including uranium enrichment to levels necessary for a nuclear bomb, bring the possibility of an Iranian nuclear test closer.

These alarming findings coincide with the Biden administration’s secret negotiations with Iran to secure an altered version of the 2015 nuclear accord. Reports suggest that the administration is offering billions of dollars in sanctions relief in exchange for minor restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program. However, Republicans in Congress are warning that such a deal would likely violate the law and may result in senior White House and State Department officials being subpoenaed.

The Netherlands’ intelligence community has also found that Iran is disregarding the agreements made in the original nuclear deal, deploying more sophisticated uranium enrichment centrifuges and expanding its enrichment capacity.

Similarly, Swedish intelligence authorities have determined that Iran is interested in Swedish technology with dual uses and critical cutting-edge products for both civilian and military purposes. Iran acquires technology and knowledge through illegal means and develops its own capabilities through Swedish universities and research institutions.

German authorities have also disrupted Iranian nuclear procurement plots in the past year. In one instance, a businessman was charged with violating foreign trade laws by supplying spectrometer systems and laboratory equipment intended for Iran’s nuclear and missile program.
