New York, Nov 5 (ANI): The U.N. atomic agency would reportedly reveal intelligence next week, suggesting that Iran has made computer models of a nuclear warhead and other previously undisclosed details on alleged secret work by Tehran on nuclear arms.
Other new confidential information the International Atomic Energy Agency plans to share with its 35 board members will include satellite imagery of what the IAEA believes is a large steel container used for nuclear arms-related high explosives tests, Fox News quoted the diplomats, as saying.
The agency had earlier listed activities it says indicate possible secret nuclear weapons work by Iran, which has been under IAEA perusal for nearly a decade over suspicions that it might be interested in develop such arms.
However, the newest compilation of suspected weapons-related work is reportedly significant in substance and scope.
The diplomats say they will reveal suspicions that have not been earlier made public, and greatly expand on alleged weapons-related experiments that have been published in previous reports on Iran's nuclear activities.
It was reported yesterday that Iran was attempting to engineer and test nuclear weapons at a series of banned production sites in defiance of United Nations sanctions.
According to the report to be released next week, the STUXNET virus succeeded in crippling a number of Iranian centrifuges but analysts now think the effects have worn off and production of highly enriched uranium has accelerated again. (ANI)
