According to a recent report by the head of an official congressional advisory board, Iran could already have nuclear weapons and the capability to attack the United States according to a recent report by the chair of an official congressional advisory board.

“Washington’s bipartisan consensus is that Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons or missiles capable of threatening the United States with a nuclear attack,” wrote Peter Vincent Pry, the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security executive director. “But some Israeli analysts and some highly credible U.S. experts disagree with the ‘consensus view.'”

Pry’s report entitled: “Iran: EMP Threat: The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Military Doctrine, Plans, and Capabilities for Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack” — charges that most data promotes the assumption that the Islamic Republic does not have nuclear weapons at this time is incomplete.

“Assessments that Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons assume erroneously: our intelligence is perfect, Iran’s civilian nuclear program is all there is, and no clandestine nuclear weapons program exists in Iran’s numerous underground military facilities — including unaccounted uranium and plutonium facilities for fueling nuclear weapons, as in North Korea,” the report warns.

Pry points out that leading experts assessed that Tehran already has nuclear missiles, including former CIA Director R. James Woolsey and former acting NASA Administrator William. Graham, ex-National Intelligence Council Chair Fritz Ermarth, and Ambassador Henry F. Cooper, who was served as the Assistant Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.

In 2021, the four experts and Pry published an article alleging that Iran “probably already has the bomb,” with several reasons why the Pentagon underestimates how advanced the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is.

Washington’s intelligence assessments that Tehran “suspended its nuclear-weapons program in 2003 are contradicted,” the group cautions, “both by Iran’s nuclear archives, stolen by Israel in 2018, indicating Iran’s ongoing nuclear-weapons program (reported at several sites in 2006, 2017, and 2019) and by Iran’s rapid resumption of enriching uranium to prohibited levels. This demonstrates an existing capability to quickly produce weapons-grade uranium.”

Nuclear experts granted access to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear archive confiscated by Israel assessed that Iranian “nuclear weaponization efforts” were not stopped after 2003.

The U.S. intelligence community continues to deny that Iran is undertaking the nuclear weapons development programs that would be needed to produce a nuclear device, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s unclassified Annual Threat Assessment report.

The most recent statement from the White House and various U.S. officials claims that Iran is “weeks away” from possessing enough fissile material to make a nuclear weapon.

If Iran already indeed has a nuclear weapon, it would be a game-changer for Washington as the Biden administration continues efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which put temporary limitations on Tehran’s nuclear activities in exchange for the removal of sanctions on Iran.

When asked if the notion of Iran already having nuclear weapons was considered when the White House’s attempts to revive the nuclear deal, a State Department spokesperson told Just The News that a “mutual return to full implementation of the [agreement] is the best available option to restrict Iran’s nuclear program and ensure it remains exclusively peaceful.”

In his new report, Pry credits the accomplishments of Reza Kahlili, who he described as “the only CIA operative to successfully penetrate the scientific wing” of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Kahlili, who uses a pseudonym, published several articles charging that Iran is on the cusp of obtaining nuclear weapons if they don’t possess them already.

“Iran is a threshold nuclear weapons state,” Pry concludes. “Prudence would dictate regarding Iran as a de facto nuclear threat.”
