'The Iranian terrorist regime did not abandon its program and continued to develop and advance the capabilities required for nuclear weapons,' the military said.
Experts say the International Atomic Energy Agency needs to revisit Parchin to ensure that Iran is not 'working on key aspects of a nuclear explosive device,' as per last year’s nuclear deal. Without access to Parchin and other military sites, such assurances will be 'unverifiable.'
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Obama administration has concluded that uranium particles discovered last year at a secretive Iranian military base likely were tied to the country’s covert nuclear weapons program, a finding that contradicts Tehran’s denials that it was pursuing a bomb.
Newly released satellite images of Iran’s top-secret Parchin military complex reveal that even as Iran was working to negotiate a nuclear deal, it was apparently working to hide its atomic work of the past and hedge its bets for the future.
Senior atomic experts believe that Iran had been covering up evidence of nuclear development prior to signing the nuclear deal with the six global nations.
The Obama administration seems to be changing its story regarding the deal with Iran. Contrary to earlier statements, they now say the Parchin military site is not nuclear.
Israel and US lawmakers responded in fury to the exposed IAEA deal that allow Iran to inspect its own nuclear sites, calling the agreement “remarkably naive and incredibly reckless."
Why are details of the pact between Iran and the UN's nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, kept secret? Are they hiding anything from Congress, which is slated to vote on the deal?
