  • Highlights of Iran's Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons
    INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY REPORT Highlights of Iran’s Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons By David Albright with Sarah Burkhard and the Good ISIS Team August 25, 2021 Iran’s Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons chronicles the Islamic Republic of Iran’s effort to acquire nuclear weapons. It started slowly, building to a crash nuclear weapons program in the early 2000s to create five nuclear weapons and an industrial complex to produce many more. Under international pressure, fearful of military attack, the program was driven to downsize and deeper secrecy. Nonetheless, Iran remains on the brink of becoming a nuclear weapons power; its nuclear material production capabilities stronger than ever, its weaponization capabilities lurking under the surface. But just how close did Iran get to nuclear weapons during its crash program and how close is it today? Up until the events of a cold, clear night in January 2018, the world could only guess. In a dramatic nighttime raid, the Israeli Foreign Intelligence Service Mossad broke into a warehouse in Tehran and seized a large cache of documents detailing Iran’s darkest and long- denied secret. The Amad Plan, the codename for its crash nuclear weapons program, was far larger and made much more progress than previously known. Containing many top secret details, the seized documents offer unprecedented insights into Iran’s progress—and the hurdles it faced in building nuclear weapons. With what Iran learned about building nuclear weapons during the Amad Plan, combined with its subsequent accomplishments, the Islamic Republic has developed a sophisticated capability to make nuclear weapons.

  • Iranian Scientist's Death Only the Latest in Long Line of Attacks Blamed on Israel
    INFOSOURCES.INFO/IRAN/NUCLEAR PROGRAM https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/27/iran-has-long-accused-israel- of-killing-its-nuclear-scientists Iranian scientist's death only the latest in long line of attacks blamed on Israel Oliver Holmes 27-11-2020 Mohsen Fakhrizadeh may be the most senior Iranian nuclear scientist to have been assassinated but he is certainly not the first, joining at least four others during the past decade. In killings Iran said were aimed at sabotaging its nuclear energy ambitions – it does not acknowledge using the technology for weapons – the country has consistently pointed the finger at Israel, its regional arch-foe. Israel has long cited its enemy’s pledges to destroy it. It says, often without specifics, that it has the right to defend itself by blocking Iran from becoming a military nuclear power. The country’s foreign intelligence agency, Mossad, has a record of using targeted assassinations. Iranian scientist killings appear to have followed a pattern, often taking place as the men were on their way to or from work. In 2010, Masoud Ali Mohammadi, an expert on particle physics, was killed by a remote-control bomb strapped to a motorcycle as he was leaving his Tehran home. Later that year, another nuclear scientist, Majid Shahriar, died in similar manner when attackers rode up alongside him and stuck bombs to his car. Fereidoon Abbasi Davani, Iran’s atomic chief at the time, survived an assassination attempt that same day. Both men are believed to have worked with Fakhrizadeh. In 2011, Darioush Rezaeinejad, an academic whose affiliation to the country’s nuclear activities is disputed, was shot by gunmen riding on motorcycles.

  • The Israeli Campaign Regarding the Iranian Nuclear Program
    Consciousness as Leverage: The Israeli Campaign regarding the Iranian Nuclear Program Ronen Dangoor1 Background Iran’s nuclear program has constituted a central security issue for Israel over the past two decades. Against this backdrop, Israel has conducted a multifaceted drive to block it, in part through a complex cognitive campaign that extended from the summer of 2002 – when the Iranian nuclear program was revealed – to July 2015, when the agreement between Iran and the world powers on restricting the nuclear program was signed. This article discusses the central characteristics of the cognitive campaign, which included four main components and motifs: the first and most basic, which was a constant for the entire period, was exposing and raising awareness of the dangers of the Iranian nuclear project; the second emphasized the other threats that the Iranian regime poses, chief among them its aggressive policy, which includes involvement in terrorism and extensive activity to develop long range missiles; the third component was the threat of a possible Israeli military attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, which was prominent as a central narrative mainly during the years 2010-2012; and the fourth component, which dominated from 2013, dealt with the negotiations between the world powers and Iran and with the nuclear deal that was reached between them. The struggle against the agreement has intensified in recent months against the backdrop of the United States’ withdrawal from it, but that development is not addressed here due to the lack of sufficient perspective. 1 Ronen Dangoor is a former Deputy Director of the Research Department at the Prime Minister’s Office.

  • Iran: Limited Retaliation for Assassination of Nuclear Scientist Likely
    The Cambridge Security Initiative IRAN: LIMITED RETALIATION FOR ASSASSINATION OF NUCLEAR SCIENTIST LIKELY DECEMBER 2020 Richard C. Baffa Iran almost certainly will retaliate for the assassination of its top nuclear scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh; however, Tehran’s response probably will be limited, proportional, and in kind, calculated to avoid a broader regional conflict and keep the door open for negotiations and sanctions relief with the incoming Biden administration. Iranian leaders rapidly condemned the assassination and blamed Israel; some also implicated the US in the attack. Iran’s top nuclear scientist was assassinated near Tehran on 27 November, prompting the Supreme National Security Council to convene an emergency meeting. Fakhrizadeh was considered the father of Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program known as the “Amad project”, according to US and Israeli intelligence. A 2011 International Atomic Energy Agency report indicated he was a central figure in suspected Iranian work to develop technology and skills needed for nuclear weapons, including designing a warhead small enough to fit atop a missile and survive re-entry into the atmosphere. Iran repeatedly refused to allow IAEA inspectors access to Fakhrizadeh and has consistently denied it has or has had a nuclear weapons program. Fakhrizadeh would have played a vital role in the event Tehran decided to jump start its weapons program. Senior Iranian officials began making statements within a few hours of his death, condemning the assassination, blaming Israel and the U.S. and vowing to retaliate. Their response, however, tempered expectations for a rapid, military response. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran’s first priority was “definitive punishment of the perpetrators and those who ordered it,” but he added, “The Iranian nation is smarter than falling into the trap of the Zionist.

    A copublication of INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY A Key Missing Piece of the Amad Puzzle: The Shahid Boroujerdi Project for Production of Uranium Metal & Nuclear Weapons Components By David Albright, Olli Heinonen,1 Frank Pabian,2 and Andrea Stricker January 11, 2019 • Documentation from the Nuclear Archives reveals a major, former nuclear weapons site under Project 110 of the Amad Plan that was not previously identified. Project 110 was charged with the development and production of nuclear warheads; • The most likely purpose of this site was as a production-scale facility to produce uranium metal components for nuclear weapons, fulfilling Iran’s long-time quest to acquire and develop uranium metallurgy and components suitable for nuclear weapon manufacturing; • Satellite imagery analysis supports these findings; • The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors should urge the IAEA to verify sites, locations, facilities, and materials involved in these activities, and urge Iran to cooperate fully in these investigations. Background Documentation seized in January 2018 by Israel from the Iranian “Nuclear Archive”3 revealed key elements of Iran’s past nuclear weaponization program and the Amad program more broadly, aimed at development and production of nuclear weapons. The material extracted from the archives4 shows that the Amad program had the intention to build five nuclear 1 Olli Heinonen is Former Deputy Director General of the IAEA and head of its Department of Safeguards.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Mr Davis Lewin at Friends of Israel Initiative (UKI0023)
    Written evidence submitted by Mr Davis Lewin at Friends of Israel Initiative (UKI0023) THE UK AND IRAN 1. The Friends of Israel Initiative (FOII) is a global organisation devoted to fighting the delegitimization of the State of Israel and to support its right to live in peace within safe and defensible borders. It is headed by its current Chairman The Hon Stephen Harper, former Prime Minister of Canada. FOII believes that Israel is an integral and vital part of the West, a dynamic, vibrant and prosperous democracy. As such Israel deserves to be fully accepted as a normal Western nation, treated with fairness as any other democracy in the world. FOII was founded in 2010 as a group of global leaders, former Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers and Defense Ministers, and eminent personalities from diverse fields. In order to further its message, FOII members engage their peers in direct and frank dialogues, invite relevant people to field trips to Israel, call on expert groups to prepare reports and policy papers, disseminate analysis affecting the future of Israel, and publish opinion editorials in pertinent media outlets, among other activities. The Friends of Israel Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. 2. FOII considers it imperative that the United Kingdom: - Reorients its approach to a posture of coercive diplomacy and deterrence vis-a-vis Iran’s government, so as to reflect the reality of the Islamic Regime’s outlook, actions and the threat it presents to the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Southwest Asia regions and the stability of the international community.
