Today, January 31, the National Council of Resistance of Iran-U.S. Representative Office<\/a> (NCRI-US) has released new intelligence revealing Tehran\u2019s ongoing efforts to develop nuclear warheads. The information, sourced from the Defense and Strategic Research Committee of NCRI, based on reports from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) network inside Iran, highlights the regime\u2019s covert nuclear weapons program.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Nuclear Warhead Development at Shahrud Site<\/h3>\n

The intelligence details the Iranian regime\u2019s focus on developing nuclear warheads for solid-fuel missiles with a range exceeding 3,000 kilometers at the Shahrud missile site<\/a>. This effort is being directed by the Organization for Advanced Defense Research (SPND), the entity established to consolidate Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons activities.<\/p>\n

The Shahrud site is a heavily militarized zone operated by IRGC Aerospace Force <\/a>experts, with restricted access to local citizens. Unauthorized entry into the prohibited area leads to immediate arrest. Personnel vehicles are prohibited inside the site, with transportation provided exclusively by IRGC Aerospace Force vehicles.<\/p>\n

    For over three decades, the ruling clerics in #Tehran<\/a>, who continue to harbor ambitions of inaugurating a regional Islamic Caliphate to this day, have been desperately trying to join the #nuclear<\/a> club.https:\/\/t.co\/EiJenArCtm<\/a><\/p>\n
