The news outlet Ynet, citing intelligence reports, wrote that Iran’s regime is secretly advancing its nuclear weapons program with direct and covert assistance from the Russian government.
According to this report, published on Sunday, November 23, a delegation affiliated with the Ministry of Defense of Iran’s regime visited a Russian military technology company that is on the U.S. sanctions list.

Ynet added that the purpose of the cooperation between Tehran and Moscow is “to complete the final stage” of the regime’s plan to “design a nuclear weapon.”
According to Ynet, Iran’s regime is using laser technology and modeling—with covert Russian help—to validate nuclear weapon design without testing, making international monitoring more difficult.
In recent months, reports have emerged about Russia’s role in advancing the nuclear program of Iran’s regime.
The state-run Financial Times reported on November 19 that individuals involved in Iran’s nuclear program traveled to Russia secretly for the second time last year—an action that, according to the United States, was an attempt to obtain sensitive technologies that could be used in producing nuclear weapons.
According to the report, regime operatives met during the trip with representatives of the Russian company Laser Systems.
This Russian company, which works in technologies with civilian uses as well as classified military projects, has been sanctioned by Washington.
Ynet further wrote that cooperation between Iran’s regime and Russia could shorten the time needed for Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons.
Earlier in August, the Financial Times had reported on a trip by an Iranian delegation to Russia and visits to scientific institutions there.

U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated in recent months that following U.S. strikes on the Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan sites during the twelve-day war, the nuclear program of Iran’s regime has been destroyed.
Nevertheless, speculation continues about the fate of the regime’s nuclear program, especially its stockpiles of enriched uranium.
The recent reports from Ynet and the state-run Financial Times together depict ongoing nuclear cooperation between Tehran and Moscow.
This phase relies on laser technologies, modeling, and dual-use components that, according to these sources, can be used in nuclear weapons research and could shorten the regime’s path toward completing nuclear weapon design.
Iran’s regime has never stopped pursuing its nuclear project, and if it were not for 133 revelations by the National Council of Resistance of Iran over the past thirty-four years—especially the exposure of the secret nuclear facilities in Natanz and Arak in August 2002—the religious dictatorship ruling Iran would already be armed with a nuclear bomb.
On July 14, 2015, after the nuclear agreement between Iran’s regime and global powers, Maryam Rajavi, the elected President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said: “Had the P5+1 been more decisive, the Iranian regime would have had no choice but to fully retreat from and permanently abandon its efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. Specifically, it would have been compelled to halt all uranium enrichment and completely shut down its bomb-making projects.… The P5+1 should now insist on evicting the regime from the Middle East and prevent its regional meddling. This is a fundamental principle that needs to be included in any agreement.”
