UN: Iran may still be procuring nuclear materials

Iranian Heavy Water Nuclear Reactor (Nanking2012)

A United Nations report indicates that Iran still may be gaining nuclear materials:

May 11, 2014

(Reuters) – Iran’s attempts to illicitly procure materials for its disputed nuclear and missile programmes appear to have slowed down as it pursues talks on a long-term accord with world powers, a U.N. expert panel said in a confidential report seen by Reuters.

The U.N. Panel of Experts, who monitor compliance with the Security Council’s sanctions regime on Iran, presented this conclusion cautiously, suggesting it was also possible Tehran has simply learned to outsmart security and intelligence services in its pursuit of sensitive components and materials…

The report said it had become increasingly difficult to pinpoint any links between “dual-use” items – those with both civilian and military applications – that Iran has sought to procure and potential recipients in the Islamic Republic.

But, the report cautioned, “this may be a function of more sophisticated procurement strategies on the part of Iran, which has developed methods of concealing procurement, while expanding prohibited activities. Such methods can also be used by Iran to procure and finance legitimate trade, which further complicates the efforts of states to identify illicit procurement.”

The report added that Iran had “also demonstrated a growing capability to produce key items indigenously”. Among sensitive dual-use items Iran has pursued abroad over the years have been aluminum, carbon fibre and special valves. http://in.reuters.com/article/2014/05/11/us-iran-nuclear-sanctions-idINKBN0DR0C620140511

Iran can make many components itself and also has learned that it needs to be more cautious with its purchases of materials in the international market. If the West believes that Iran has given up its nuclear ambitions, then the West is deceived. Iran wants access to its money overseas and the USA has basically allowed that.

I have repeatedly warned that the deal that the USA made with Iran to supposedly stop this seems to have given Iran benefits at little cost (see Iran makes nuclear deal that Obama praises: Israel and Saudi Arabia are not pleased and Various analysts say that Iran ‘won’ in the nuclear talks and Iran remains defiant and some see the USA caving to its demands).

So, far this deal appears to be (carnally-speaking) a good deal for Iran. However, in the long-run, Iran will likely suffer for decisions it will make, at least partially because of this deal. That being said, parts of this deal put the USA itself at risk for terrorist attacks from ‘dirty bombs’ (bombs that have radioactive components) and possibly nuclear bombs in the future.

Iran is not truly placated. The top leadership of Iran has a Shi’ite Muslim agenda, which they have concluded includes causing chaos and war. I, for one, do not believe that Iran’s leaders have given up on their goals of Islamic domination.

Notice the following prophecy which indicates destruction for at least a part of Iran (some of Elam is believed to be in Iran):

34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:

‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord. (Jeremiah 49:34-39)

“Neutralizing” Iran would allow most of the other Islamic states (like Saudi Arabia and Egypt) to continue to exist (Syria might not do well per Isaiah 17:1) and allow for the rising of the prophesied King of the South to rise up.

The top leadership of Iran has a Shi’ite Muslim agenda, which they have concluded includes causing chaos and war. I, for one, do not believe that Iran’s leaders have given up on their goals of Islamic domination–and they do want nuclear weapons. But if they significantly act militarily with them (cf. Isaiah 22:1-14), it ultimately will not turn our well for Iran (e.g. Jeremiah 49:34-38).
