Steht der Iran kurz vor einem Atomwaffentest?

Berichten westlicher Geheimdienste zufolge könnte der Iran kurz vor einem ersten Atomwaffentest stehen.

Wer es wissen wollte, konnte es schon seit langem wissen: Egal ob mit oder ohne Deal, der Iran treibt sein Atomprogramm die ganze Zeit voran. Das gleiche gilt für den Bau von Trägerraketen. Unlängst erst wurde bis zu 90% angerereichertes, also waffenfähiges, Plutonium von der IAEA entdeckt.

Derweil schlagen auch verschiedene Geheimdienste Alarm und es sind nicht CIA oder Mossad:

Now a highly controversial report claims that Iran is close to testing its first ever nuclear weapon.  Separate intelligence reports published by Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden during the first half of this year have said that the Iranian regime ‘‘...has consistently sought to obtain technology for its illegal nuclear program and ballistic missile apparatus,’’ with the Netherlands General and Intelligence Security Service claiming that Tehran’s nuclear advancements, including the enrichment of uranium "brings the option of a possible [Iranian] first nuclear test closer."

The Netherlands’ intelligence agency has determined that Iran is "deploying increasingly more sophisticated uranium enrichment centrifuges [and] enlarging its enrichment capacity." That view is corroborated by Swedish intelligence authorities, which have claimed that, "Swedish technology as products with dual uses and critical cutting-edge products for both civilian and military use is of interest to Iran. Iran procures both technology and knowledge through illegal methods, and develops its own ability through Swedish universities and research institutions."
