Iranian Nuclear Weapons? The Uncertain Nature of Iran's Nuclear Programs

April 12, 2006

A report by Anthony H. Cordesman and Khalid R. Al-Rodhan analyzes Iran’s nuclear weapons program, in light of the announcement by the Iranian president yesterday. The study lays out what is and is not known about these efforts. It does not find conclusive evidence or some smoking gun, but it raises deep concerns about Iran's actions and conclude it is almost certainly seeking to deploy nuclear weapons and nuclear-armed long range missiles.
