NCRI – New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau who spearheaded financial investigations of Iran’s regime said Wednesday that mullahs are "deadly serious" about developing nuclear weapons and long-range missiles — and there's not much time to stop it before it does, CNN reported on Thursday.
Robert Morgenthau said Iranian regime is working towards developing nuclear weapons.
He told a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that although he's not an expert on proliferation, many such experts were consulted in the financial probes "and it comes out loud and clear: It is late in this game and we don't have a lot of time to stop Iran from developing long-range missiles and nuclear weapons."
Morgenthau helped uncover a multibillion-dollar scam that Iranian regime used to move money through U.S. financial institutions to help buy materials for its nuclear and missile programs.
The investigation provided what Morgenthau called "Iran's shopping list" for weapons of mass destruction.
The mullahs in Iran are “deadly serious about proceeding with this program and … it is later than a lot of people think. And frankly some of the people we have consulted are shocked by the sophistication of the equipment they are buying. So we don't have a lot of time to waste," he told committee members in a hearing entitled, "Engaging Iran: Obstacles and Opportunities."
