Iran secret attempts to buy illicit nuclear technology
By Arash Nikzad
According to new Intelligence reports which received from Germany, the information has indicated that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been trying to obtain illegal technology that could be used in the country’s ballistic missile and the nuclear warhead.
This calls into question Iran’s compliance with the terms of the 2015 nuclear deal that was set up to halt its nuclear weapons proliferation.
The reports provide details about more than thirty attempts by Iran to procure items that were probably or definitely wanted for “the benefit of proliferation programs”. The procurement attempts happened in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
One of the reports states that missile delivery systems are included in the definition of illicit proliferation activity. It explains that the Iranian regime used front companies in China, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates to get around international restrictions as Iran did in ex-president era Ahmadinejad to obtain nuclear technologies.
The intelligence report draws some serious queries about Iran’s compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal that was implemented on the 16th January last year. The report deals with the year 2016 when most of the procurement attempts happened. In 2015, the agency had recorded 141 procurement attempts by Iran for the same purposes.
One of the other intelligence reports details how Iran uses “guest academics” for illegal activities surrounding the weapons and nuclear programs. The report states: “An example of this type of activity occurred in the sector of electronic technology in connection with the implementation of the enrichment of uranium.”
The other report claims that Iran is going to the ability to threaten Europe with long-range rockets and ballistic missiles.
There has been much discussion in recent weeks about North Korea and Iran sharing information and expertise regarding their ballistic missile and nuclear programs and their collaboration in tow filed, but there are also now concerns about Iran assisting Syria with its chemical warfare program.
Other reports reveal that Russia and Iran played a very large role in developing Syrian President Bashar Assad’s chemical weapons program particular making missiles warhead.
