If it had such an intention, it would have easily produced nuclear weapons based on its nuclear knowledge, and the IAEA, the United States, and Europe would not be able to do a damn thing. Just as they have done so far despite their relentless efforts to stop the production of accurate ballistic missiles of our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Which state or government can you name that has the lowest level of understanding and intellect and provides all the military information of the country to its enemies?&#8221; Shariatmadari added in his interview. &#8220;As it was acknowledged by the Brookings Institution, the White House spokesman, and dozens of other US officials, the IAEA&#8217;s request to inspect some particular centers, is providing secret and sensitive military and security information for Mossad&#8217;s private sources as well as the CIA. It is expected that the esteemed officials of our country will blind the eyes of &#8216;Mossad&#8217; and &#8216;CIA&#8217; by preventing the entry of IAEA inspectors into sensitive military and security centers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;text-align: justify\">UPDATE: 9:00 AM CEST<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\">Forty Second Victim Found in Abadan Metropol Complex Rubble<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"iran-abadan-metropol-complex-collapse-aftermath\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-259747 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-abadan-metropol-complex-collapse-aftermath-300x169.webp\" alt=\"iran-abadan-metropol-complex-collapse-aftermath\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-abadan-metropol-complex-collapse-aftermath-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-abadan-metropol-complex-collapse-aftermath-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iran-abadan-metropol-complex-collapse-aftermath.webp 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Today, according to the state-run Asr Ma website, a new body was discovered under the rubble of Abadan&#8217;s collapsed Metropolis twin towers.
