An agency within Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL) has been discovered to be running Iran’s nuclear program from top sites used by the country’s space program. The Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPDN), Iran’s chief nuclear development agency, has been found operating at two locations previously known for space development and launch activities.
Reports indicate that SPDN has been intensifying efforts to construct nuclear warheads at the Shahrud and Semnan sites. The Shahroud Space Center, suspected of missile development, now reportedly houses SPND personnel working on a nuclear warhead for the Ghaem-100 missile with a range of over 1,800 miles. The site is under high security, with personnel transported inside by the IRGC.
