Defecting intelligence general reveals new ways in which Iran is trying to enrich uranium, build nuclear bomb. Has no new information regarding Ron Arad
Iraqi general, Ali Reza Asgari, who disappeared in Istanbul last February, has defected and is being held by the United States, Yedioth Ahronot published Sunday.
Asgari was considered by the US one of the top intelligence officials in Iran.

His defection was made possible thanks to an intricate CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) operation, climaxing in him joining Western intelligence officers in Istanbul, who than had him and his family transferred to the US.
Asgari, who according to reports is being held in a top-secret military installation, has been able to shed a new light on much of the Iranian regime's most inner workings, especially regarding the Iranian nuclear development project.
Up until now, Iran according to known intelligence has been building two nuclear plants, in Arak and Bushehr, and has been using centrifuges to enrich uranium.
Iran, Asgari told his interrogator's is working in another, stealth path, toward achieving its nuclear goal.
This third method involves attempts to enrich uranium by using laser beams along with certain chemicals designed to enhance the process. These trials are held in a special weapons facility in Natanz.
Keeping quiet
Iran, said Asgari, is making special efforts to hide this path from the West, keeping it as a fallback in case international sanctions or a military strike should shut down or destroy the existing plants.
This new information has those who know its details in full worried.
The fact the Iranians are trying to find new ways to enrich uranium is not new onto itself, but the progress made, at least according to the information given by Asgari, is much greater than was suspected.
"You have to applaud the Iranian intelligence for being to keep this a secret for so many years," said a US source.
Western intelligence agencies are now busy analyzing the information Asgari provided them with, and estimating just how long is it before Iran has a nuclear bomb.
This, said the US source, is one of the reasons why the information given by Asgari, implementing Iran in various global terror activities, has remained under wraps.

Iran, added the source, had caught on to Asgari's defection, and had taken preventive actions to protect its intelligence assets, in anticipation of the information he may reveal.
Asgari, has failed, however, to help Israeli intelligence solve one of its most burning questions what ever happened to Ron Arad.
14 yrs old again?? You just made my poor sick stomach hurt, lol.
To hell with cracking their secrets...
We need to crack their freaking brain housing groups.
LOTS of them........perhaps millions of them....
"...14 yrs old again?? You just made my poor sick stomach hurt, lol..."
And I thot I was the only one that remembered that movie.
Geez, I'm old .................... FRegards
Lol, wrong beach.
And you can’t have my ‘Chevy 789’!!
You can keep yours, sweetheart - I'll build my own!
There just isn't any flowing-style anymore in cars that trundle off the assembly lines.
The 'Vette is still a nice looking car, and its' clone, the Cadillac XLR is kinda snazzy (I'll probably get one of those for fun), but I still like the 'style' we used to have.
Todays cars all look like Japanese Easter Eggs, and that front-wheel-drive bullshit has got to go!
Keep up the amazing pics, babe. I'll stick to fibreglass cars ................ FRegards
That Chevy 789 is a beautiful car. Devolve made a slideshow webpage on it.
Most of the cars nowdays look alike, I love the looks of the old ones too.
My son in law was killed in a fibreglass Corvette, not much to protect you there!
Thanks on ‘amazing picts’!

Click on “Beach Boys” on my profile page under the top graphics and you’ll see the Chevy 789 slideshow and a playlist of music there
The custom Chevy 789 is built on a new ‘Vette chassis and running gear - 190mph, etc
Front is a ‘57, side sorta ‘58, back is ‘59
I put together more photos than Kanter had on their main site and also have an enhanced clone webpage of their homepage to
[I put together more photos than Kanter had ]
Lol, when it comes to CARS, you’ve put together more photos than anybody - almost!

True
Too true!
Really truely true!! For sure!
It's gonna be great. ................... FRegards
AND music, music, music!!
.
Music
Of course!
Yes.
Holy Smokes...the Batmobile (based on my old ‘57 Chevy?)
Something like that. It's loosely called the '789', since it's got some of the looks of each Chevy of those years.
The one in the pic is built on the 'Vette chassis, but I'm using the GM F-body (Camaro/Firebird) as the red Gonzomobile II is built on.
We learned a lot building the red one, and can use that on this new '789'. Fibreglass is easy. Mounting it properly is tough ...................... FRegards
awesome..I want one
