(Worthy News) – The globally renowned US-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) has warned that Iran is spending massive academic research resources on nuclear bomb detonation, the Jerusalem Post reports.
A major international non-profit organization dedicated to informing the public on security issues, ISIS focuses primarily “on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and related technology to additional nations and terrorists, bringing about greater transparency of nuclear activities worldwide, strengthening the international non-proliferation regime, and achieving deep cuts in nuclear arsenals,” its website explains.
During an interview with the JPost on Wednesday, ISIS president David Albright said: “If you look at Iranian ‘academic’ studies related to computer modeling, their capabilities are quite significant and relevant to working on codes and simulations that you would need to perform to weaponize a nuclear bomb.”
Albright’s concerns about Iran’s advancement toward a working nuclear bomb have long been echoed by the US and Israel, as well as by the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
“Multiple top defense officials have also expressed concern to the Post about new Iranian nuclear weaponization progress, intimating that there could be new clandestine efforts against Tehran’s recent violations,” JPost said in its report.
Not least, JPost reports that three Iranian sources told Iran International that Tehran is making progress on nuclear armament and detonation issues.
