Previously Undisclosed Iranian Nuclear Weapons Site Identified
[Free Beacon] A new Iranian nuclear weapons site has been identified by a team of experts, who are now calling on Tehran to acknowledge the previously undisclosed site to international inspectors.

The Institute for Science and International Security announced on Wednesday that it has evidence Iran operated a nuclear weapons construction facility in northern Iran until at least 2011, when it was likely destroyed as Western nations began to investigate the country's weapons program. The information was found in a tranche of records recently smuggled out of Iran by Israel.
So, who do we credit for discovery and reporting, the non-profit Institute for Science and International Security, or Israeli intelligence ?
The facility still has not been declared as a former weapons site by Iran, as it is required to do under international law.

"The facility was intended as a pilot plant, aimed at developing and making uranium components for nuclear weapons, in particular components from weapon-grade uranium, the key nuclear explosive material in Iranian nuclear weapon cores," according to the institute.

"The key building of the site, the uranium metals workshop, was apparently gutted and abandoned between late 2010 and early 2011," the research organization found.

#1 Perhaps the mission of The Institute for Science and International Security should be expanded to include reporting on Pandemic threats ?
