Iran is secretly developing nuclear missiles with the ability to reach Europe based on designs delivered to the Islamic regime by North Korea, said a new report published by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). According to the report, weapons are being produced in two sites disguised as satellite launch facilities. The NCRI, an exiled opposition group, said Tehran is speeding up its alleged nuclear weapons program in these facilities. He also declared that missiles are able to travel more than 3,000 km (1,800) miles, potentially aimed at Europe.
Citing the report, the New York Post He informed that one of the facilities that the NCRI marked as a nuclear weapons site was the installation of Shahrud missiles, which is being directed by the Iran organization for advanced defense investigation and the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC). The group believes that the nuclear eye that is being developed on the site would be adjusted to a Ghaem-100 missile and would be able to reach Greece.
He also estimates that Iran has already tried rocket launchers at Shahrud’s facilities at least three times. Those rocket releases were supposedly hidden as part of the satellite releases, says the NCRI. He believes that IRGC plans to prove the launch of more advanced Ghaem rockets in the coming months.
It is believed that the second test installation is located more than 43 miles southeast of Semnan, where Tehran is developing Simorgh missiles based on north Korea designs. In his report, the NCRI said that the parts of this site are hidden underground. He also accused Tehran of expanding this site since 2005.
According to NCRI, the Semnan program supposedly remains a secret linking it with Iran’s space program and establishing the Khomeini space launch terminal.

Tehran is working desperately to keep the international community out of Iran and maintain the status quo as a means to buy time to fulfill its nuclear ambitions, Soona Samsami, an American representative of the NCRI, said.
However, Samsami added that Israel’s attacks against Tehran’s air defense systems last year have created the perfect opportunity for the West to end Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “Tehran has never been as weak and vulnerable as it is today. The desperate Iranian regime is accelerating the development of nuclear weapons,” Samsami told the Telegraph.
“Now is the time to hold the regime responsible for internal murders, regional warming and the development of nuclear weapons,” he added.
