"Foreign Scientists Helping Iran Reach Nuclear Capability"

This should come as no surprise, as we've known for years that Russian scientists have been giving Iran assistance in their nuclear ambitions:

Foreign scientists helping Iran reach nuclear capability

Iran received training from foreign scientists in order to develop the capability to build a nuclear weapon, the Washington Post reported Sunday.

According to the report, which was published days before the UN nuclear watchdog was expected to release findings on the Tehran's nuclear ambitions, "Western diplomats and nuclear experts" said the International Atomic Energy Agency received intelligence that former Soviet scientists taught the Iranians to construct the kind of "high-precision detonators" that can be used to "trigger a nuclear chain reaction."

Scientists from Pakistan, a US ally, and North Korea also aided Iran in developing its nuclear program.


We also see more about the upcoming IAEA report, which will present an even stronger case regarding Iran's quest for nuclear weaponry and subsequently a stronger case for military action against Iran:

The IAEA obtained satellite pictures of the container at Parchin, near Tehran, and other evidence that lent credence to allegations by IAEA member states that the installation was intended for nuclear-related explosives testing, the sources said.

The IAEA will also reveal evidence that Iran carried out computer modeling of a nuclear weapon, one source said.

Iran blasted the US and Israel on Saturday for their reported plans to attack the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program, urging the international community – including the United Nations – to condemn the two nations for their combative remarks.


It now appears that Russia will be formally exposed as aiding and assisting Iran in their efforts for developing nuclear weapons. During this process, both Russia and Iran have publicly stated that the nuclear efforts were only for the purpose of generating power and no activities in nuclear weapons development was taking place.

The IAEA report coming out this week may be a game changer for many reasons. Exposing the nuclear-weapons aspect of Iran's nuclear development (which they have vigorously denied) and exposing Russia's involvement tangibly for the first time will make for an interesting week of diplomacy.

It also reveals just how extensive this part of the Gog-MaGog alliance is (Iran-Russia). It also reveals how close Iran is to having their hands on nuclear weapons - all while threatening to destroy Israel.

More importantly, this looks like a strong basis for a country or countries to 'attack' Iran's facilities, and soon, as the window for such an opportunity is rapidly closing.
