Iran kan tillverka kärnvapen inom kort

Den information som IAEA har fått tillgång till indikerar att Iran har utfört åtgärder som har samband med utvecklande av kärnvapen sägs det i en rapport som publicerades i dag.
Enligt tidningen Haaretz säger experter att Iran kan bygga en atombomb inom några månader. Iran har fått hjälp i kärnvapenutvecklingen av experter från Ryssland, Pakistan och Nord Korea.

Jerusalem Post skriver : IAEA confirms Iran worked on building nuclear bomb
"Iran has worked on developing a nuclear-weapon design and other research, and carried out testing relevant for such arms, the United Nations atomic agency said in its most detailed report to date on Tehran's nuclear program."

Haaretz skriver: Western experts to Haaretz: Iran able to build nuclear bomb within months
"Iran will be ready to build a nuclear bomb within a few months, if it desires, Western nuclear experts have told Haaretz. Other experts, who have seen intelligence used in the compilation of the latest International Atomic Energy Agency report on Iran, have said that Tehran already has the know-how, the technological means and the materials needed to put an atom bomb together within short order.

These experts have concluded that nuclear weapons engineers from Russia, Pakistan and North Korea have been assisting Iranian scientists in their efforts to reach nuclear capability."

Citat från rapporten:
43. The information indicates that Iran has carried out the following activities that are relevant to the
development of a nuclear explosive device:

• Efforts, some successful, to procure nuclear related and dual use equipment and materials by
military related individuals and entities

• Efforts to develop undeclared pathways for the production of nuclear material

• The acquisition of nuclear weapons development information and documentation from a
clandestine nuclear supply network  and

• Work on the development of an indigenous design of a nuclear weapon including the testing of
components.

52. While the Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material at the nuclear
facilities and LOFs declared by Iran under its Safeguards Agreement, as Iran is not providing the
necessary cooperation, including by not implementing its Additional Protocol, the Agency is unable to
provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, and
therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities.

53. The Agency has serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran’s nuclear
programme. After assessing carefully and critically the extensive information available to it, the Agency
finds the information to be, overall, credible. The information indicates that Iran has carried out activities
relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device. The information also indicates that prior to the
end of 2003, these activities took place under a structured programme, and that some activities may still be
ongoing.
