Germany’s domestic intel agency warning comes a year after Iran signed a deal promising to curtail program
Iran is still making extensive attempts to acquire materials to further its nuclear program, a year after signing a deal promising its curtailment, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency warned last week.
The German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) says it has detected extensive Iranian attempts to acquire illicit materials in Germany, “especially goods that can be used in the field of nuclear technology,” noted the agency in its recently released annual report. “Also in international comparison, the level of attempts remains high,” it added.
The German intelligence body in the regional state of North Rhine-Westphalia registered 141 such attempts last year, as opposed to 83 similar tries in 2014. Ninety of those attempts were described as illegal activities to procure technology that could be used for the development of nuclear weapons and launchers.
The smuggling of the proliferation-sensitive goods is conducted usually by Iranian strawmen and shell companies through China, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, it also estimated.
