Iran trying to steal German nuclear tech while talking to Biden

 Legal Insurrection:

As U.S. President Joe Biden negotiates with Iran to revive the Obama-era nuclear deal, German intelligence has exposed the regime’s efforts to advance its nuclear weapons program. 

The Iranian regime, while talking with the Biden administration in Vienna, Austria, continues to seek technology and equipment needed to build a nuclear arsenal, the recently published annual domestic intelligence report by the German State of Bavaria disclosed. 

Iran, besides other rogue states, is “striving to compliment its conventional arsenal by building, or in given case, modernizing [its] weapons of mass destruction,” the 380-page report released earlier this month revealed. 

“In order to get the know-how and related components,” the Iranian regime is “trying to acquire contacts with companies in technologically advanced countries such as Germany,” the report added.

...

The Bavarian intelligence report also revealed Iran’s growing terrorist activities in the country. There are almost 1050 members of Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists groups operating in Germany, according to this year’s report. The pro-Iranian terrorist group carries out indoctrination, recruitment and fundraising on German soil.  

After Germany banned Hezbollah last year, Iran issued threats against the country. “The German government must face the negative consequences of its decision,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry declared.

This is not the first time German intelligence agencies detected Iranian efforts to steal and buy WMD-related technology in Germany. In June 2019, a German intelligence report found a “clear rise in evidence” of Iran trying to steal German and Western technology and hardware to advance its clandestine nuclear and WMD program. 

This finding is surprising given German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s support for the Iran nuclear deal. Germany had been at the forefront opposing President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the deal and his administration’s policy of “Maximum Pressure” on the Iranian regime. 

...

I have never understood why any country supports the Iran nuclear agreement.  It is still one of the worst deals in the history of the world and it is inexplicable why Biden would want to revive such a terrible deal that puts genocidal religious bigots on the path to a nuclear bomb.
