Report: Iran Nuclear Program More Advanced than Previously Believed
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - Iran's illicit nuclear program could be more advanced than previously believed, according to new information released Friday by an Iranian dissident group. Iran is said to have built and still be in possession of two explosive chambers that have allowed the regime to conduct advanced testing of nuclear weapons, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an Iranian opposition group that has exposed Iran's clandestine nuclear activities in the past. "The chambers were to be used for special tests, particularly for high explosive impact as part of the nuclear weapons program of Iran," the NCRI claimed. One of the two chambers is said to have been installed at the Parchin complex. "The clerical regime is ceaselessly and secretly forging ahead with the military dimensions of its nuclear program and has no intention whatsoever of abandoning that program," said Soona Samsami, the NCRI's U.S. representative.
