London, 23 May – The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran Nuclear Deal, has several problems, according to a former senior official of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). One of them is that it does not call for inspection of Iran’s military facilities. Because the military side in Iran’s nuclear program is dismissed by the agency that oversees Iran’s commitments, the reports are less transparent.

London, 23 May – He’s been described as the father-to-be of Iran’s nuclear bomb, but Dr Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is a fairly mysterious figure.

Not much is known about the man that poses such a great threat to the world and until Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference about the Iranian nuclear threat in April and produced a photo of the doctor, no one really knew what he looked like. Even the International Atomic Energy Agency has been consistently refused an interview with him.

London, 23 May – Weapons researchers in California have discovered that Iran built a secret missile research facility in the desert in 2011, which is currently being used for Iran’s illicit missile programme, through watching Iranian television programmes about military scientist General Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam.

The researchers, from the nonpartisan Middlebury Institute of International Studies, spent weeks examining satellite photos of the Shahrud facility, following their initial discovery and they now believe that Iranian scientists there are working on advanced rocket engines and rocket fuel, often in the dead of night.
