Up to ninety scientists are working clandestinely on the construction of a nuclear bomb in the Islamic Republic of Iran under the supervision of the Defense Ministry, according to a German weekly report on Sunday.
Tagesspiegel am Sonntag, quoting intelligence sources, said Tehran had bought high-tension switches and high-speed cameras to conduct nuclear tests.
Last week, Iran's president reiterated his country is not seeking to make atomic weapons. "Tehran considers international concerns about nuclear issues as justified, but we give assurances that nuclear weapons have no place in Iran's defense policies," Khatami was quoted as saying.(Albawaba.com)
