Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

American research team discloses undeclared nuclear weapons development site in Iran

Apr 11, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu offered proof that the Iran nuclear deal was based on lies. He revealed a cache of documents that demonstrated conclusively that “Iran lied to the world about its nuclear program for years, even after the 2015 nuclear deal with the world.”

Now, “a team of American experts says it has uncovered a previously unknown Islamic Republic nuclear weapons development site in Iran.” The Institute for Science and International Security “says that it has evidence the Islamic Republic operated the nuclear weapons development facility in northern Iran until at least 2011 when it was likely destroyed as Western nations began to investigate the country’s weapons program.”

“It should be remembered in this connection that the concept of taqiyya as such is specifically Shi’ite, developed during the time of the sixth Imam, Jafar al-Sadiq, in middle of the eighth century, when the Shi’ites were being persecuted by the Sunni caliph al-Mansur.”

See more about taqiyya HERE.

Iranian allies have been pressuring the U.S. to ease sanctions amid the coronavirus pandemic, yet it has already been reported that money for domestic interests is being diverted to the jihad terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“Research Group Discloses Undeclared Iran ‘Nuclear Weapons’ Development Site,” Radio Farda, April 9, 2020:

A team of American experts says it has uncovered a previously unknown Islamic Republic nuclear weapons development site in Iran.

The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) called on Tehran on April 8 to acknowledge the previously undisclosed site to international inspectors.

Founded in 1993, the Institute for Science and International Security is led by former United Nations IAEA nuclear inspector David Albright.

ISIS says that it has evidence the Islamic Republic operated the nuclear weapons development facility in northern Iran until at least 2011 when it was likely destroyed as Western nations began to investigate the country’s weapons program.

“Based on documents in the Iran Nuclear Archive, seized by Israel in early 2018, Iran’s Amad Plan created the Shahid Mahallati Uranium Metals Workshop near Tehran to research and develop uranium metallurgy related to building nuclear weapons”, ISIS says.

Amad Plan refers to Iran’s alleged roadmap to developing a nuclear weapon.

“The facility was intended as a pilot plant, aimed at developing and making uranium components for nuclear weapons, in particular components from weapon-grade uranium, the key nuclear explosive material in Iranian nuclear weapon cores,” the institute disclosed.

The site was meant to be temporary until the production-scale Shahid Boroujerdi facility at Parchin was completed….

    I’m surprised some enterprising young person hasn’t taken the concept of the “chia pet” where you water it and grass grows out of it’s head. And applied it to a “taqiyya pet” where a turban headed fool has the lies flowing from his lips.

    Iran is a Regional threatwith Conventinal Weapons only. Now imagine a Nuclear Iran with ICBMs a long range submarine Force and a Naval Base in Venezuela. These are all part of their military goals. This should scare any sane Westerner. Years ago the French Defense Minister. Said the day Iran has has nuclear weapons capability France needs to strike her with her own nuclear weapons. This was in the 90s. My my how France hascapitulated since that time

    Notice in the picture the smaller rocket motors attached to the side of the larger missile. A number of these same motors could be attached to Iran’s missiles for increased range or increased payload weight. OR these could serve as models for larger motors being used. Next time recordings are shown of the Atlas 5, notice the small solid rockets that help get the larger rocket get off and accelerate faster for the same purpose. The faster the rocket reaches higher altitude and lower atmospheric pressure, the more efficient the engines.

    In my opinion, Iran’s base in Venezuela is much more than a naval base. Iran has been practicing surface ship launching of ballistic missiles for decades. One nuclear detonation about 300 miles above Omaha Nebraska, where NO re-entry is required, creates an EMP that would destroy most or all of the solid state devices in the continental US. Add 2 more of Raleigh North Carolina and Salt Lake City Utah and we are in the dark. They know this. Why shouldn’t we?

      Thanks for the above exposé of little-known strategic facts by FA. I think he should be writing a follow-up to this fine article by CDW. FA has obviously spent time learning about advanced weaponry. He has provided another important region why the US needs to promote regime change in Venezuela. Iran’s naval base in Venezuela has to go. NATO countries have to agree that this is a threat to the US and thus is a threat to all.

        Mortimer, I have reason to believe what I have written is true. Glenn Beck reported Iran’s ship launching tests while on Fox. Iran’s tests mimic US shipboard launching of high altitude research rockets in the 1950’s. I have an earned degree in Mechanical Engineering and have been reading about rocket technology since my adopted father would read to me before I could read. A nuclear trained officer told me about the US Government Printing Office book, The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, when we were in law school. I still have a copy. This is not, in my opinion, speculation, but the connecting of dots to complete a picture.

    • Daniel Triplett says

      For the EMP objective, they could also detonate one or more devices from smaller aircraft, after smuggling the devices into the US.

      My biggest concern with Iranian nukes isn’t ICBMs with “Islamic Republic of Iran” painted on them. As you know, we can attack ICBM launch sites, and have reasonable success destroying them inflight. But defending against a nuke in a van or nuke in a container ship will be difficult, if not impossible. They could build dozens of devices, then transfer them to their various goon squads for a coordinated simultaneous multi-continental attack.

      Allowing Iran to gain nuke devices would be to liberate an evil genie from the bottle, with staggering consequences. Whatever it takes, we can’t let that happen.

      Some experts have speculated Iran already has one or more devices, intending to amass dozens of them before using them, which they promise to do.

        Apr 11, 2020 at 1:40 pm

        D.T. my reading says that EMP effects take place when the detonation is far above the atmosphere. In a fission-fusion-fission device, manufactured where a fission bomb is inside a container of for example lithium deuteride, the whole being cased in a wrapper of depleted OR natural uranium (primarily or all U-238), the first explosion creates the fusion explosion which releases huge numbers of neutrons, which transmute the uranium jacket into plutonium 239 more or less instantly, releasing huge quantities of electrons that comprise the EMP, These electrons come from the transmutation of U-239 into Plutonium 239 by the release of an electron. The Plutonium then fissions for the release of additional energy, about doubling the total released by the bomb otherwise. All of this takes place so fast that there is no time for the bomb material to scatter. See, Herman Kahn, On Thermonuclear War. See, also, The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, US Govt Printing Office (1977).

        A low altitude explosion does not create a noticeable EMP covering large areas. EMP was discovered only when Thor rockets carried multimegaton H-bombs several hundred miles up from Johnston Island and disrupted electro mechanical systems in Hawaii. Electro mechanical devices are much more resistant to EMP that solid state. A quick source is the movie Trinity and Beyond.

        The impact of EMP according to my reading is comparable to a simultaneous lightning strike covering the entire exposed area. With proper shielding and grounding much equipment can survive. BUT I have friends with pacemakers who would die on the spot unless they are standing in a Faraday Cage. Automobiles with computers, cell phones, televisions. . . you name it, would die.

          True, a large enough weapon detonated at 300 miles above Kansas could affect most of the conterminous US. That’s high. The average orbital altitude of the International Space Station is 250 miles.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Apr 11, 2020 at 2:18 pm

          D.T. North Korea sent one of its missiles on a high trajectory instead of a long range trajectory and reached approximately 2500 miles, not 250, altitude. A missile follows a partial orbital trajectory and can be placed pretty well anywhere if it has enough fuel to empty weight ratio. That is where the strap on boosters can change what can be done with little notice or testing.

          Other-when a bomb is detonated within the atmosphere the blast, heat and radiation are much more significant than whatever EMP is involved. When the detonation is outside the atmosphere all the other effects are between minimal and trivial compared to the EMP.

          Recall the speech given by then president of Iran Mohmoud Ahmadenijad at the U of Tehran several years ago. He related to the young crowd of Moslems his dream of taking a freighter off the coast of the United States and launching a high arc ICBM over Ohio and detonating. Most of the population of America would go into the dark instantly, with no cars or tractors or electricity starvation and chaos would ensue from Kansas to Maine to Florida. It would be horrible.

          When Mahmoud finished his dreamy speech, the crowd of students exploded in applause.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Apr 11, 2020 at 3:05 pm

          A.P.F. 1) I think they can do it right now.
          2) Anyone in the crowd who did not celebrate would be beaten or killed. Can you imagine what would happen in Nazi Germany to any crowd member who failed to follow orders? To me it is a model to consider.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Apr 11, 2020 at 3:19 pm

          A.P.F.-Additional: There is a major difference between ICBM’s, IRBM’s and MRBM’s. Generally ICBM’s require 3 stages to achieve intercontinental range. It is a matter of ratio of fuel to empty weight and the exhaust velocity of the fuel/oxidizer combination.
          In order for a single stage rocket to reach a velocity equal to the exhaust velocity of its fuel the full weight at launch must be a little over 2.7 times the empty weight (to allow for inefficiencies). To double the exhaust velocity there must be a ratio of 2.7 times 2.7 to 1, full to empty. For triple the exhaust velocity it takes 2.7×2.7×2.7 to 1. The Atlas missile achieved this high ratio and intercontinental range by basically being a stainless steel balloon depending on the pressure in its tanks to keep it from buckling as it accelerated to speeds of about 16,000 miles per hour. The Minuteman series used 3 stages and solid fuel that had an exhaust velocity of about 8,000 feet per second.

          When launching from a ship or submarine at a range from ship to target of 1,000 miles or so, the cost and complexity of an ICBM is not necessary. Iran has shown an inventory of missiles which can travel those distances. When weight can be saved by not needing a re-entry shield, and range can be gained by strap-on booster rockets, they have all they need when they are ready to see what happens.

          I’m a rocket enthusiast too. I’ve built and launched many of them as a hobby. There are regional clubs where men launch everything from small rockets through sophisticated multi-stage rockets costing tens of thousands of dollars, some 20 ft tall, climbing 25,000 feet or more, complete with GPS, altimeters, and cameras.

          If you’re interested in checking it out sometime, here’s a great website forum I spend a lot of time on for guys who love rockets.

        Apr 11, 2020 at 1:46 pm

        D.T. In my opinion, from all publicly known facts about Iran’s efforts and cooperation with North Korea, Iran HAS some bombs right now. It is to me only a question of how many do they have, how many do they want, and when they will start using them and where.

        • Daniel Triplett says

          Apr 11, 2020 at 2:19 pm

          I share your opinion. Everytime NoKo has tested a weapon, a team of Iranians has been on site with them. Therein lies the biggest threat with Kim: Nuclear proliferation, especially with Iran.

          Kim has no designs for World conquest. And he has no death wish for any deity. He just wants to live and enjoy his power, decadence, food, concubines, cars, houses, and continue bullying his people. The nukes are his insurance card, and he has no intention of surrendering them to the US. But I see little to no threat at all that he would ever launch a first strike.

          But his proliferation with Iran is obviously a deadly serious problem for us.

      • Frank Anderson says

        Apr 11, 2020 at 8:33 pm

        Carl, of course. Money and oil can buy anything China has. Do you think North Korea has bombs because of or in spite of China? If China did not want NK to have them, they would not. China is using Iran and NK as the same kind of lightning rod and false flag as Hitler used Gleiwitz on the Poles. Iran wants bombs. NK wants money. NK has bombs. Iran has money. Deal. Keep the US busy with NK and Iran while China takes over.

          Of all the arrogant, ignorant blunders of the Carter administration, abdicating the Panama Canal was perhaps the worst. One of the top three most strategic military and commercial choke-points on the planet.

          Apr 12, 2020 at 1:13 pm

          Do remember when Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base were “vital and indispensable”? There is no such thing. There is always a plan B if needed. Turkey used to be a good friend and trustworthy ally. Then when the time came to put up or shut up Turkey refused to allow its bases to be used in dealing the Iraq. Nothing and no one is “irreplaceable”, and that is from personal experience.”

          Carter fooled the US into refusing to reprocess nuclear fuel. That makes the nuclear waste problem 20 times larger in volume and thousands of years longer. Spent fuel is only 5 percent waste. The remainder includes about enough plutonium to make between 25 and 50 bombs a year or be recycled into more reactor fuel. The waste from a year’s worth of spent fuel amounts to about 2 cubic meters, the size of a telephone booth. The US is alone in not reprocessing “spent” fuel. Carter could not even pronounce the word “nuclear” correctly.

          In 4 years Carter made 2 decisions that I think were praiseworthy: 1) Deployed the cruise missile which rendered the Soviet air defense system obsolete and bankrupted them; 2) He ordered the Navy off the coast of Vietnam to rescue the boat people, an act of humanitarian goodness that should be remembered much longer than he is. Jewish teaching: “There are no perfectly good or perfectly bad humans.” Muslims test that belief often.

    The nuclear “deal” with Iran is a window into the nation’s growing insanity. Imagine that, they’re not just Moslems, they’re agitated ones. So why not cut a deal that ignores treaty cheating, open ICBM development, has no conditions except at airliner with pallets of shrink wrapped $100 cash, all in order to open the door for them to become a nuclear power. Well played.

    And then imagine this: except for a sequence of freakish circumstances, Hillary would be president now, during the Wiuhan Plague. Being above the law like most deep staters, think of the money the Clinton Foundation would be raking in today. That much more for Chesea and her investment banker hubby.

    God America is a wonderful place. And the Moslems are coming. No, wait a minute, they’re already here. Rashida and Ilhan are making their marks, praise Allah.
