I know, you're shocked:
German security officials have accused the Iranian regime of pursuing its goal to build missiles armed with nuclear warheads, the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel reported.
“Despite the nuclear agreement [reached with world powers in July 2015], Iran has not given up its illegal activities in Germany. The mullah regime also made efforts this year to obtain material from [German] firms for its nuclear program and the construction of missiles, said security sources,” Der Tagesspiegel wrote on Friday.
The paper added, “Iran has [according to the security sources] clearly not given up its long-term goal to become an nuclear power that can mount nuclear weapons on rockets.”
This continued work on their goal is why the chief nutball in Iran can make this kind of threat:
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday Tehran would stick to its 2015 nuclear accord with world powers as long as the other signatories respected it, but would "shred" the deal if Washington pulled out, state TV reported.
Khamenei spoke five days after U.S. President Donald Trump adopted a harsh new approach to Iran by refusing to certify its compliance with the deal, reached under Trump's predecessor Barack Obama, and saying he might ultimately terminate it.
Why wouldn't Iran want to stay in the deal? Economic benefits and nukes? That's a no-brainer (cue Secretary of State Kerry!).
And "shredding" the deal is easy for Iran when they got so many benefits up front and they are still working toward their long-term goal. Or are you going to tell me that Iran fired all their technicians and scientists working on nuclear weapons once the deal was completed?
Remember, Iran did not agree to stop their nuclear weapons program. Iran denies that they even had a nuclear weapons program! Their reasoning is that since they didn't have a nuclear program to begin with, they could hardly pledge to end it.
So we are to trust the Iranians that they aren't working on nukes now?
How gullible are you?
