An unprecedented Iranian confession: The purpose of the Arak reactor is to build an atomic bomb
Beth: Nabawian, a member of the Special Committee to Investigate the Nuclear Agreement and a Board Member of the Article 90 Committee of the regime's Shura Council, said in an unprecedented acknowledgment that the main purpose of the Arak reactor was to provide enough plutonium to build an atomic bomb.
He said in an interview with regime TV: "The reactor (I see you) is so important to us that it was giving us 9 kilograms of plutonium a year. Let me be clear, one of the consumption is a bomb... Depending on the technology, countries can produce bombs from three And seven kilograms of plutonium... The presence of this reactor was sending a message to Israel that if you sinned against the Iranian nation, we also have a bomb."
He added, "30 tons of fuel is injected into the Bushehr reactor annually, and the presence of waste in Iran makes Israel and the enemies to make their calculations.... Using a technique called reprocessing, you can produce plutonium from this spent fuel...."
On January 23, 2019, the head of the regime's Atomic Energy Commission, Ali Akbar Salehi, told regime television, "I bought tubes similar to the fuel tank of the Arak reactor, and only one person in the country knew about this and that was the regime's supreme commander. We took out the fuel tank tubes of the reactor and filled them." With concrete, but now we have similar tubes....The Commander in Chief did not allow the nuclear industry to be halted because of the nuclear agreement, and our exploration and extraction is still vigorously continuing."
Nabavian's statements once again reveal the true intentions of the regime regarding its nuclear program, and make clear that the nuclear projects from the beginning had no purpose other than to obtain an atomic bomb.
