UN agency in dramatic document: ‘Iran conducted experimental nuclear test’

Experiments of this type are done exclusively to verify the operational capability of an atomic bomb, and have no civilian use, or even any other military use.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) shocked the international community when a research document it provided revealed that it has unambiguous evidence that Iran conducted a series of experiments related to the activation and detonation of a nuclear device – a process very close to the final stage in developing an atomic bomb.

In a special report published by the agency, it was revealed that Iran conducted “implosion tests” – completely military experiments that have no civilian use whatsoever.

Experiments of this type are considered a vital step in developing a nuclear warhead. The report adds that the experiments were conducted without reporting, contrary to Iran’s commitments under international agreements.

According to international research bodies, “implosion tests” are one of the final stages in the process of assembling an atomic bomb, and directly simulate military activation of a nuclear bomb.

Experiments of this type are done exclusively to verify the operational capability of an atomic bomb, and have no civilian use, or even any other military use.

According to assessments, the report was written based partly on documents from the Iranian nuclear archive that was stolen from Tehran by the Mossad in 2018, in addition to information that was transferred to the agency by European and other intelligence bodies, with whom the agency works regularly.
