Former Russia’s Scientists Sabotage Iran’s Nuclear Program
Secret services of the United States and its allies are doing utmost to render abortive the uranium enrichment program of Iran. The covert efforts of the United States involve former Russian nuclear scientists and Iranians living abroad.
According to CBS News, former Russian nuclear scientists and Iranians living abroad are amid the intelligence agents of the United States. They sell to Iran the components with defects and/or drawings with faults that couldn’t be easily detected.
Iran is particularly vulnerable to industrial sabotage because of the ban on buying components and technology on the open market. So, the black market of Western Europe is a certain way-out for that country. Benefiting from the secrecy of diplomatic bags, the diplomats of Iran’s consulate in Frankfurt are shipping components to their home country, CBS News reported.
In April 2006, for instance, the components acquired on the black market and installed to Natanz facility exploded and destroyed 50 uranium enrichment centrifuges.
But all covert efforts of intelligence agencies of the United States and allies notwithstanding, the progress in Iran’s nuclear program is evident.
