we are pretty sure this was an intended nuclear explosion

Two years ago, senior Reagan and Clinton administration officials warned that Iran probably already has nuclear weapons

As we had reported as an update within that June 14th story, ANP received the email above that was dated all the way back on January 17th of 1999 which reported a nuclear detonation had been detected in Iran by satellites in the hills of Northwestern Iran. While neither the White House nor the Pentagon had any comment on the matter, as a spokesperson for the Department of Enhanced Satellite Technology stated, "".As Dr. Peter Vincent Pry had reported on The Hill back in December of 2018 in this story titled " Don't Trust The Intel When It Comes To Iran's Nuke Program ", "Washington officialdom believes Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons based on little more than wishful thinking.". As they wrote in Underestimating Nuclear Missile Threats from North Korea and Iran in the National Review on Feb. 12, 2016 Iran is following North Koreas example  as a strategic partner allied by treaty and pledged to share scientific and military technology. Iran sacrificed its overt civilian nuclear program to deceive the Obama administration, to lift international sanctions, to prevent Western military action, while a clandestine military nuclear program no doubt continues underground. That is why Iran, under the nuclear deal, will not allow inspection of its military facilities and prohibits interviewing scientists  it is concealing the dimensions and status of Irans nuclear-weapons program.We assess, from U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency reports and other sources, that Iran probably already has nuclear weapons. Over 13 years ago, prior to 2003, Iran was manufacturing nuclear-weapon components, like bridge-wire detonators and neutron initiators, performing non-fissile explosive experiments of an implosion nuclear device, and working on the design of a nuclear warhead for the Shahab-III missile.Thirteen years ago Iran was already a threshold nuclear-missile state. It is implausible that Iran suspended its program for over a decade for a nuclear deal with President Obama.The above assessment is by Ambassador R. James Woolsey, President Clintons director of Central Intelligence; Dr. William Graham, President Reagans White House science adviser, leader of NASA and recently chairman of the Congressional EMP Commission; Fritz Ermarth, a national security adviser to President Reagan and chairman of the National Intelligence Council, and Ambassador Henry Cooper, former director of the Strategic Defense Initiative. These stellar intelligence officers, strategic thinkers and scientists played major roles in helping to win the Cold War. Perhaps we should listen to them now about Iran.
