According to a recent report by the German equivalent of the FBI, the Islamic Republic has not only continued its clandestine support for Hamas and Hizballah cells within Germany but is also pursuing its quest for nuclear technology there. Jonathan Tobin writes:
[The report states that] Iran made at least nine recent attempts to acquire technology for nuclear-arms development. Though it claimed the majority of those attempts were thwarted by German intelligence, the agency said there was no doubt the Islamist regime would continue “its intensive procurement activities in Germany.” . . .
This means that despite all the happy talk from the United States and its Western allies about compliance with the terms of the nuclear pact, their confidence is unfounded. Instead of merely reaping the enormous benefits that have accrued to it from the ending of sanctions and waiting patiently for the pact to expire in ten years before resuming their push for a weapon, Iran has never stopped working to achieve its nuclear ambition. . . .
Moreover, if German [intelligence] knows this, it is highly likely that American intelligence is also aware of these activities. That raises questions about whether U.S. officials in the White House and the State Department who have continued to assure us that the letter of the agreement is being observed have been lying to the American people. The revelations also put President Obama’s comments in recent months about the need to encourage Iran to be more open to the world in a different light.
