IRAN’S tyrannical regime has been secretly building nuclear warheads for missiles that can fire more than 3,000km, chilling new docs show.
Satellite pictures have uncovered three sites that Iran’s leaders claimed were being used as part of a space initiative.
Humiliated by recent defeats of its terror proxies and weakened by the downfall of Syria’s dictatorship, Iran’s regime has ramped up repression.
Last week, The Sun reported that Iran’s leaders are increasing executions in the country, even executing two political prisoners on false charges.
Recent reports indicate that Iran is rapidly advancing its nuclear weapons program, constructing nuclear warheads for solid-fuel missiles with a range of over 1,800 miles (3,000km).
A powerful blast from Iran could impact on several continents due to the chilling capability of the warheads.
Italy, Ukraine, Sudan, India and even large swaths of Russia would all potentially be in the firing line.
They are being developed at two sites in Shahrud and Semnan, which were previously pinned as rocket or space satellite launch sites.
A third site, Sorkheh Hesar, is also said to be carrying out projects, including research on nuclear power and underground explosions.
These nuclear developments are being overseen by Iran’s nuclear weaponization organization, the Organization for Advanced Defense Research (SPND).
Bosses are developing nuclear warheads for the solid-fuel Ghaem-100 missiles, which are equipped with mobile launch platforms at the Shahrud site.
Iran’s rocket designers have used North Korea’s missiles as a guide to develop the Ghaem-100 missile.
When the missile was in a very early testing stage in 2011, dozens of missile experts were killed at the Modarres site in Tehran.
Personnel vehicles are banned from entering the Shahrud site and are forced to park at a checkpoint before people are transported in.
Meanwhile, they are using the liquid fuel missile Simorgh to develop nuclear warheads in Semnan.
Iran has staged three successful Ghaem-100 missile launches over the past two years, enhancing the regime’s capability to deploy nuclear weapons.
The bombshell docs were released by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a political organisation founded in Tehran in 1981 aiming to overthrow the country’s tyrannical rule.
Back in 2002, they revealed the Iranian regime’s secret nuclear weapons programme in both Natanz and Arak – exposing the clandestine methods used.
The NCRI’s network of sources inside the regime have now revealed even more secrets around Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
They say leaders have ordered the development of nuclear warheads to go on the rockets, and Revolutionary Guards are set to test more advanced Ghaem-105 missiles in the coming months.
The ballistic missile tests of Ghaem-100 and Simorgh were conducted under the guise of satellite launches, as these weapons are described as “satellite carriers”.
Iran’s barbaric regime has attempted to conceal the expansion of its missile site in Semnan as the Imam Khomeini Space Launch Terminal.
The site now includes eight complexes, compared to only two in 2005 while six additional complexes were added by 2012.
Satellite imagery part of the Semnan facility shows that construction of this complex began in early 2005.
Excavation work started in March 2009, the concrete foundations were made in October 2009, and by 2012, the site was completely covered with earth.
It is understood a covered hall is connected to other facilities within the complex via underground tunnels.
Insiders say activity has intensified in recent months at the site – using desert areas for practical tests.
NCRI’s US representative Soona Samsami said Iranian mullahs are “masters of lies, deception, and evasion”.
She told The Sun: “For over two decades, they have used negotiations and the West’s leniency as a means to advance their nuclear weapons program, threatening global peace and stability.
“Tehran has never been as weak and vulnerable as it is today. The desperate Iranian regime is thus speeding up the development of nuclear weapons.
“Now is the time to hold the regime accountable for internal killings, regional warmongering, and nuclear weapons development.
“As long as this regime is in power, it will never abandon its nuclear weapons program, even if it makes tactical concessions.
“The only sure way to end the Iranian regime’s threat is to end the rule of the clerics in Iran by the Iranian people and their organized resistance.
“All nuclear-related sites of the Iranian regime, including all uranium enrichment capabilities, must be shut down.
“Diplomatic overtures without accountability have only encouraged the regime’s deceptions.”
It comes after Donald Trump demanded the US build its own version of Israel’s Iron Dome missile defence system to fend off threats by nations including Iran.
The president’s executive order came amid his huge plans to radically reform the US military in the face of growing global threats against his nation.
He also hinted that a new deal with Iran would be “nice” in a hint that the new president would look for a diplomatic solution with the country.
Tehran has a network of puppet terror proxies that often carry out Iran’s dirty work.
Iran is known to arm terrorist groups such as Hezbollah to wreak havoc on enemy turf.
The regime this week warned the US and Israel would be “crazy” to attack its nuclear facilities.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told Sky News it would turn the “whole region into a very bad disaster”.
