🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡- BREAKING: "Explosive new intelligence report reveals Iran's nuclear weapons program is still active [while negotiating].

The Iranian nuclear weapons development program is well advanced, and Iran possesses a growing arsenal of ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads over long distances. Iran is striving for comprehensive rearmament, with nuclear weapons to make the regime immune to attack and to expand and consolidate its dominance in the Middle East and beyond," - Fox News, citing Austria's state intelligence, DSN.

Fox News reports that the Austrians have "contradicted" a report in March by Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, in which she claimed Iran had "paused" its nuclear activities.

More importantly, Fox News believes the Austrian intelligence findings could be an "unwanted wrench in President Trump’s negotiation process to resolve the nuclear crisis with Iran’s rulers because the data outlined in the report suggests the regime will not abandon its drive to secure a nuclear weapon."
