Iran Accelerating Nuclear and Missile Programs, Warns Ex-General
Retired General Jack Keane states that Iran's "diabolical regime" is rebuilding nuclear sites and ballistic missile capabilities.
Iran is reportedly accelerating the rebuilding of its nuclear sites and ballistic missile program, with construction underway at multiple facilities, including the underground "Pickaxe Mountain" base near Tehran.
Satellite imagery and analysis from think tanks indicate a notable increase in activity, particularly at the Pickaxe Mountain facility, which is located more than 300 feet beneath the surface near the Natanz atomic site. This persistent development suggests Iran's continued pursuit of nuclear ambitions, even amidst ongoing diplomatic talks with the United States.
Retired four-star General Jack Keane commented on the situation, stating that Iran has not abandoned its nuclear goals. "It defines their regime," Keane told Fox News, characterizing Iran as a "diabolical regime." He added that the country has recommitted itself to recovering its nuclear program and accelerating its ballistic missile development, which he described as a significant threat to its adversaries.
