National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an exiled
Iranian opposition group, accused Tehran Thursday of a "vastcollaboration" with North Korea in developing nuclear arms, alleging that
experts from both countries made regular intelligence-sharing visits. The last
visit was in April this year which on that North Korean experts spent a week in
Tehran, at a site close to Iran defense ministry. It was the third such visit
by a North Korean nuclear delegation in 2015 alone.
NCRI, which had earlier exposed Iran's uranium enrichment
plant at Natanz, located 238 miles south of Tehran, reportedly said that the
SPND unit focuses on research and manufacturing of interior parts of nuclear
warheads.
According to NCRI report, the intelligence came from sources
close to the Iranian government. The report reveals that "The Iranian
regime continues to collaborate with North Korea on nuclear warheads and
ballistic missiles."
Iran and North Korea have long cooperated in the ballistic
missile field. In 2006 Mullahs regime President Ahmadinejad met with North
Korean regime official visiting Tehran.
The report shows
that Mullahs continue to deceive international community about their nuclear
program. If Mullahs nuclear program was peaceful, Iran would be transparent
with the world. It wouldn’t need to have secret meetings with a seven-person
team of the North Korean Defense Ministry.
The State Department said in response during the pressconference Thursday that even if the two nations are cooperating, it would not
hinder a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran. The State Department
spokesman, Jeff Rathke also said, we're examining these allegations. They're
serious.
This is a green light of the State Department to Iranian
regime. If these allegations are serious and they are correct, how could that
not impact negotiations? President Obama’s desperate push for a nuclear deal,
along with its refusal to challenge Iran’s nuclear cooperation with North
Korea, would leave Mullahs more confident than ever that they could provoke the
White House with impunity. Why U.S. could reach an agreement with Iran without
them addressing the nuclear cooperation with North Korea? Why they afraid to ask Iran in this regard?
So, Mullahs are not obliged to renounce their active strategy to acquire a
nuclear bomb, since they see no strength on the other side of the negotiation
table.
If US doesn’t take concrete measures to hinder Iran to
cooperate with North Korea, it paves a way for Iran to bypass an agreement by
simply not doing it alone in Iran, but by cooperation.
President Obama should know that he is dealing with a
totalitarian regime who has shown no interest in giving up its drive to nuclear
weapons. The weaponization program is continuing and they have not slowed down
the process.
Tehran has also used its nuclear ambitions brilliantly as a
lever to gain Western concessions. Under Mr. Obama’s “framework” accord, Iran
is likely to emerge as a nuclear-threshold state free from sanctions with more
resources to spend on regional militias and global terrorist promotion. This is
the dangerous world that would be Mr. Obama’s heritage with rising threats.
