Iran Saber Rattles.
Sources in London, England have revealed that Iranian scientists were stationed at the Syrian plutonium production plant in Al Kibar, destroyed in an Israeli air strike in September 2007. The Iranians as well as Syrian personnel were trained by North Korea to operate Al Kibar, designed to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons.
Iran paid North Korea to build the plant tom produce plutonium (P239) for nuclear weapons and to build those weapons in Syria closer to Israel. In addition Iran has been jointly developing its long range ballistic missile with North Korea and Syria. Wednesday Iran tested nine offensive missile - one that could deliver a nuclear warhead to Israel and other capable of attacking U. S. and allied ships in the Persian Gulf.
In the last two days Iran has launched and televising to Iranians a score of offensive missiles.
Teheran has also financed joint missile production with Syria. The sources said Iran’s remaining obstacle to nuclear weapons was the ability to install a nuclear warhead on a missile delivery system. The Iranian delivery system selected for a nuclear warhead has been the Shihab-3B intermediate-range missile, the sources said. They said Iran, with assistance from North Korea, was expected to complete weaponization by mid-2009.
