Pentagon: Iran Continuing Work on Nuclear Systems


Iran is continuing to develop missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons despite an interim agreement on its nuclear programs, according to a Pentagon report.
the one-page unclassified summary of the report says.
A copy of the report was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The report was due to Congress in January but was not sent to the Armed Services Committee as required by law until this month. Analysts said the delay appeared designed to avoid upsetting Tehran and the nuclear talks.
Last year Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified that Iran “would choose a ballistic missile as its preferred method of delivering nuclear weapons.” And in February, Iran launched a Safir long-range missile system.
“In 2013, the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) made the following statement about this system: Iran could develop and test an ICBM capable of reaching the United States by 2015,” the report said.
“Since 2008, Iran has conducted multiple successful launches of the two-stage Safir space launch vehicle (SLV) and has also revealed the larger two stage Simorgh SLV, which could serve as a test bed for developing ICBM technologies.”
The committee asked the secretary of defense to provide an update on Iran’s ballistic missile programs.
As a result of the delay in the annual Iran military power report, the committee directed the Pentagon to provide a briefing on the Iranian missile threat, and to update the January report.
Ilan Berman, an Iran specialist with the American Foreign Policy Council, said the release of the report is good news but “has long been conspicuous by its absence.”
“The study is long overdue, and its delay suggests that the administration has been leery of injecting inconvenient facts into the Iran debate as it closes in on a nuclear deal with the regime in Tehran,” Berman said.
Mark Dubowitz, another Iran expert, said Tehran is continuing to develop long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, in violation of U.N. Security Council limits.
“The Obama administration ceded to Iranian demands that their missile program was non-negotiable and, instead, has tried to reassure Congress that this missile threat can be mitigated by constraining Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear warhead,” said Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“This major administration concession to Iran will greatly complicate the U.S. intelligence community’s ability to detect whether Iran has develop a nuclear warhead-carrying ICBM capable of reaching the continental United States,” he added. “By its very nature, it is much more difficult to detect and prevent warhead development, which can take place in small, covert facilities, than it is to determine the nature and extent of a hostile missile program. In yet another example of how deeply flawed the emerging Iran deal will be, Tehran will have a much easier pathway to develop systems.”

«قائم»؛ شاهکار شهید مقدم که ماهواره‌های ایرانی را به ارتفاع 1000 کیلومتری می‌برد
نوبت "قائم" ایران می رسد

همانطور که در ابتدای گزارش اشاره شد، ماهواره بر 4 مرحله ای و سوخت جامد قائم یکی از آخرین پروژه های در حال پیگیری توسط شهید حسن طهرانی مقدم و شاید مهمترین آنها بوده است. به گزارش مشرق، بنا بر اطلاعات منتشر شده در رسانه ملی، قطر مرحله اول این موشک 3.5 متر و ارتفاع آن 20 متر بوده و برای رساندن محموله به مدار 1000 کیلومتری طراحی شده است.

به نظر می رسد ساختار این موشک به صورت قرارگیری پشت سر هم مراحل باشد. می توان گمانه زنی نمود که موفقیت در طراحی و ساخت نمونه های سابق که پس از تلاش های فراوان مجموعه های مختلفی در کشور حاصل شد، انگیزه و نقطه اتکاء اصلی در ورود به طراحی موشک قائم بوده باشد که گامی چند برابر بلندتر از مواردی چون سجیل محسوب می شود.

علاوه بر مسائل شرح داده شده در این گزارش نگاهی به سایر موشک های فضائی ساخته شده در دنیا می توان بخش هایی از عظمت این پروژه را نمایان سازد.

موشک های فضائی و نظامی متعددی به صورت 3 مرحله ای با ساختار مراحل پشت سر هم ساخته شده اند که برخی از نمونه های فضائی دارای موتورهای
کمکی اولیه (بوستر) در کنار مرحله اول خود نیز هستند که از آنها به عنوان مرحله صفر یاد می شود.

I think this retard senator is misquoting Khamenei. Iran says "long range missile" when referring to the likes of sejill, ghadir. Where did this moron get the statement the leader ordered mass production of ICBM's?

my brother i think you wrong on this .

Khamenei said mass production of missiles .Khamenei did not specified which ones or what type . he gave order to all arm forces to be fully prepared and for mass production missiles so ..........
++
if you look we have already have large stockpile of these obsolete ballistic missiles and many time they showed them and BSed that these are just been mass produced so why would Khamenei ask them to mass produce some more of these obsolete ballistic missiles which are use less ...............
.
++
General Michael Flynn he is Obama's former defense intelligence chief
he was intelligence officer with access to a lot of intelligence files and classified intelligence cables ++++so................

Flynn questioned the Obama administration's unwillingness to challenge Tehran's separate but parallel ballistic-missle program aimed at building 'preparedness to weaponize a missile for nuclear delivery.'
Iran's arsenal is already 'of high quality and growing,' he told lawmakers. 'Even today, their missiles cover most all of the Middle East, and the next generation will ( lied to the lawmakers so he had to use word "will" because it was open session hearing and he can not talk about anything classified because he took oath before when he became intelligence officer and if he reveal any information he could be prosecuted by law) include ICBMs capable of attacking the American homeland.'

سازمان ملل: پرتاب ماهواره احتمالاً نشان‌دهنده دست‌یابی ایران به فناوری موشک‌‌
بالستیک است
هیئت کارشناسان سازمان ملل در گزارشی پرتاب ماهواره از سوی ایران به فضا را نشان‌دهنده دست‌یابی ایران به فناوری موشک‌‌های بالستیک دانسته است.

  • به گزارش گروه بین‌الملل خبرگزاری فارس، هیئت کارشناسان سازمان ملل ادعا کرده پرتاب یک ماهواره به فضا توسط ارتش ایران ممکن است نشان‌دهنده دست‌یابی ایران به فناوری موشک‌های بالستیک باشد.

    طبق گزارش «فاکس‌نیوز»، این هیئت که روز 1 ژوئن یافته‌های مربوط به پرتاب ماهواره ایران به فضا در 15 فوریه را منتشر کرده مدعی است مقامات تهران با آنکه «گزارشی درباره هیچ یک از تحولات موشک‌های بالستیک جدید خود ارائه نمی‌کنند» یا از انواع جدید این موشک‌ها و آزمایش‌های آنها رونمایی نمی‌کنند قصد دارند تا تاریخ 16 مارس سه ماهواره دیگر را در نوبت پرتاب قرار دهند. بنا به این ادعا، این ماهواره‌ها قرار است از سکوهای پرتاب و سوار بر ماهواره‌برهای بزرگتر پرتاب شوند.

    روزنامه‌ صهیونیستی جروزالم‌پست در حالی خواستار طرح موضوع موشکی در مذاکرات هسته‌ای بر اساس این یافته‌ها شده که طرفین اعلام کرده‌اند این گفت‌وگوها محدود به برنامه هسته‌ای ایران خواهد بود.

Even so, a 7-member U.N. expert panel which is monitoring Iran’s behavior on the proliferation issue while negotiations continue noted in its June 1, 2015 report that Iran’s officials and news media “have not been reporting any new ballistic missile developments” such as the “unveiling or testing of new types of ballistic missiles,” or tests of medium-range missiles it is already known to possess.

The Iran missile mistake

Iran’s insistence on keeping its ICBM program belies its claim that its program is peaceful, and letting Iran keep it belies President Obama’s stated intention to stop and dismantle the Iranian nuclear weapons threat. The last time we tried to separate the two issues — letting North Korea keep its missile program while striking a deal (which it predictably violated) on enrichment — we wound up with a rogue regime that had both. Does any serious person doubt we are heading that way again? After all, Wendy Sherman has played an instrumental role in both deals. We should fully expect similar results.

Chuck Hagel Former U.S. Defense Secretary in confidence Carnegie Council which took place on June 18, 2015
said : Now, one component of all this too is not part of the deal, and that's the delivery capability of what the Iranians have, the missiles. They've got pretty sophisticated missiles..

Experts: Iran Now a Nuclear-Ready State, Missiles Capable of Hitting US
By William R. Graham, Henry F. Cooper, Fritz Ermarth, and Peter Vincent Pry | Sunday, 01 Feb 2015 06:30 PM
On Jan. 22, The Jerusalem Post reported that Iran deployed a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) "whose range far exceeds the distance between Iran and Israel, and between Iran and Europe." It was also shown on Israeli television.

Iran's development of an ICBM at this time would be consistent with unclassified U.S. intelligence community reports that in 2013 warned Iran could test an ICBM by 2015.

Iran and others claim the missile is not a military ICBM for delivering nuclear warheads but a peaceful Space Launch Vehicle (SLV) for orbiting satellites.

This is a distinction without a difference.

Iran has a demonstrated capability to orbit satellites weighing over a ton, which means it could also deliver a nuclear warhead against the U.S. or any nation on Earth.

Indeed, Iran has orbited several satellites on south polar trajectories passing over the western hemisphere from south to north, as if practicing to elude U.S. Ballistic Missile Early Warning Radars and National Missile Defenses, which are oriented to detect and intercept threats coming from the north.

Moreover, the altitude of these satellites, if they were carrying a nuclear weapon detonated over the center of the U.S., was in all three cases near optimum for generating an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) field across all 48 contiguous United States. EMP could cause a protracted blackout of the national electric grid and other life-sustaining critical infrastructures.

Iranian military writings describe eliminating the United States with an EMP attack. Rep. Trent Franks in congressional testimony given in December 2014 noted that an official Iranian military document, recently translated by the intelligence community, endorses making a nuclear EMP attack against the United States. The document describes the decisive effects of an EMP attack no fewer than 20 times.


Iran has missiles capable of delivering a nuclear weapon, but does Iran have a nuclear warhead?
