Ezekiel 38: U.N. Report says Iran Continues to Develop Advance Ballistic Missiles
May 19 2014
Missiles with ranges of thousands of miles are not only being developed, but are developed.
“Analysis of Iran’s ballistic missile program remains a challenge,” the UN Panel of Experts report, obtained by Reuters, said.
“With the exception of several launches, periodic displays of hardware and one recent revelation of a new ballistic launch facility, the program is opaque and not subject to the same level of transparency that Iran’s nuclear activities are under IAEA safeguards,” the panel wrote.
“Among the most important items Iran is reportedly seeking are metals as well as components for guidance systems and fuel,” the panel report said. “Similarities between Iran’s ballistic missiles and space programs can make it difficult for states to distinguish the end-uses of procured items.”
In 2010, the UN passed a resolution that included a ban on Iran developing missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
An Iranian official, quoted by Reuters, said that the ballistic missile program would not be interrupted. “Iran purchases parts from various countries, including Russia and China, and then assembles missiles in Iran,” he said.
“Some Gulf countries have been involved in the missile delivery to Iran. Iran has never stopped its missile program and has no intention to do so; it gives Iran an upper hand.”
