New details from a trove of Iranian nuclear documents stolen by Israeli spies early this year show that Tehran obtained explicit weapons-design information from a foreign source and was on the cusp of mastering key bomb-making technologies when the research was ordered halted 15 years ago. The stolen documents contain no revelations about recent nuclear activity, and no proof that Iran has violated the 2015 nuclear accord it reached with the United States and five other global powers.
U.S. officials had long known of Iran’s pre-2004 nuclear weapons research, but the documents reveal the sophistication of Iran’s nuclear efforts and how far Iran’s scientists advanced before the project was put on ice. |
