London, 27 Apr – Iran managed to keep its nuclear program a secret for many years. Since it started it has never been halted.

Last week, the biggest organised opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), revealed details about the current developments in the nuclear program. The NCRI was basically able to provide evidence showing that the Islamic Republic was violating the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or the Iran nuclear deal as it is more commonly known as.

London, 26 Apr – The Obama administration released seven Iranian prisoners (and stopped pursuing 14 more suspects) who were deeply involved in Iran’s missile and nuclear program, in order to secure the release of US hostages in Iran; according to Josh Meyer of Politico.

At the time, the prisoners (and fugitives) were presented as non-violent offenders who had merely violated the US’s economic sanctions on Iran; although considering that the Gulf nation is the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism, surely breaking economic sanctions is bad enough.

London, 26 Apr – The Iranian Nuclear Weapons programme is still alive and well, despite reports to the contrary from the State Department.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held a press conference last week, to unveil the new site of the Iranian nuclear programme, which neither the UN or the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have had access to.

London, 26 Apr – Soon the US will once again begin ramping up pressure on Iran, which has lagged considerably over the past eight years.

While Donald Trump may not be quite ready to tear up the nuclear deal, which gave Iran considerable sanctions relief in exchange for stopping Iran’s nuclear weapons programme (which notably has not stopped the Iranian Regime’s programme at all), he may be ready to target the Gulf nation in other ways.
