A new set of European intelligence reports has revealed that Iran attempted to evade US and EU sanctions in order to obtain technology for its nuclear weapons program. The reports, published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), were translated and published on their website. The reports, which cover Iran's alleged illegal activities in 2022, include data from security agencies in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany. The most concerning information comes from the Netherlands General and Intelligence Security Service (AVID), which states that Iran's rapid development of weapons-grade uranium brings them closer to conducting a nuclear test. The reports also highlight Iran's violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear deal reached with world powers in 2015. The Trump administration withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018, citing Iran's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons and support for terrorism. The Biden administration is reportedly seeking a mini-version of the JCPOA. European intelligence agencies have previously documented Iran's attempts to illegally acquire technology for its weapons programs. Experts emphasize the need for increased efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining technical data and assistance for its nuclear and missile programs. The reports also reveal Germany's concerns over Iran's proliferation activities. Israeli experts warn that Iran's efforts to obtain nuclear weapons have continued despite Western actions being perceived as weak. The UN expresses alarm over Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, which exceeds the allowable amount under the JCPOA. Iran's mission to the UN and Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to queries.
