German Intelligence: "Iran Can Set Off a Bomb within Six Months"
[Stern-Germany] Iran will soon be able to produce atomic bombs and perform underground nuclear testing, just as North Korea has done, experts in the German Foreign Intelligence Service (BND) have told Stern. "If they want to, they will be able to set off a uranium bomb within six months," a BND expert said. Iran is focusing on building missiles capable of transporting nuclear bombs to targets as far as Europe. According to a senior BND official, these efforts are pursued "with massive intensity." The German Foreign Intelligence Service has "no doubt" that the missile program in Iran is "exclusively" aimed at the production of atomic warheads. The necessary missile components are being obtained through a massive network of dummy companies headed by the Iranian Said Mohammad Hosseinian. Several German companies are also involved. While Reuters on Wednesday reported falsely that the BND had denied the Stern report, the BND did not deny the report.
