BREAKING: NYT reports on an impending nuclear crisis with Iran “New intelligence about Iran’s nuclear program has convinced American officials that a secret team of the country’s scientists is exploring a faster, if cruder, approach to developing an atomic weapon if Tehran’s leadership decides to race for a bomb.”

"If"? If they are looking for ways for faster development, doesn't that mean they are "racing for a bomb"?
 

Iran building North Korean-designed nuclear missiles capable of hitting Europe​

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) has accused Tehran of expediting its alleged nuclear weapons program, with two facilities rushing to complete a working warhead capable of traveling more than 1,800 miles, according to their latest report.

One of the facilities the NCRI flagged as a nuclear weapons site was the Shahrud missiles facility, which is being run by Iran’s Organization for Advanced Defense Research and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The NCRI estimates that the nuclear warhead being developed at the site would be fitted on a Ghaem-100 missile and capable of reaching as far as Greece, with at least three successful rocket launchers reported at the Shahrud facility.
 
The Defense Ministry's Directorate of Defense Research & Development says it has completed a series of tests on new anti-drone defense systems that are in development.

Arms contractors Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Rafael, and six smaller companies presented different solutions for the unmanned aerial vehicle threat, with the first tests being carried out in October and a final test yesterday.

The systems that succeeded in the tests will move on with development with full Defense Ministry funding.

The ministry says that during yesterday's final tests at a firing zone in southern Israel, each of the nine companies "displayed interception capabilities of UAVs of different ranges, speeds, and altitudes."

The companies presented several anti-drone systems, including systems using 30mm cannons, and other gun-based technologies; interceptor UAVs, including some that launch a net to take down a target drone; and interceptor missiles.

"Upon completion of an analysis of the current experimental results, the Defense Ministry intends to choose a number of technologies that will enter into an accelerated development and manufacturing process. This is to deploy new operational capabilities in the immediate time frame," the ministry says.

Some 1,300 drones were launched at Israel since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, from all fronts — Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Iran. According to IDF data, 231 of the drones struck Israel, causing causalities and damage in a handful of cases.
