Report: Iran Closer to Testing Nuclear Weapons

(Jerusalem Post) Benjamin Weinthal - Iran is closer to testing a nuclear weapons device and has sought to obtain illicit technology for its atomic weapons program, according to intelligence reports from the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany. The Netherlands General and Intelligence Security Service (AVID) determined that the Iranian regime's fast-moving development of weapons-grade uranium "brings the option of a possible Iranian first nuclear test closer." IDF Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, said, "Iran is evidently committed to its nuclear weapons plan. The European intelligence reports describe covert Iranian efforts to shorten the breakout time to a nuclear arsenal by illegally acquiring equipment and knowledge from various European countries." He said the U.S. and other international powers are "rewarding Iran with a new 'understanding' and would only motivate Iran to continue and enhance its efforts to obtain the required components of nuclear weapons."
