Intel officials worry that Iran could outsource nuke program to North Korea

A disturbing report in the Washington Times underscores one of the great fears of the US intelligence community; that Iran could team up with North Korea to enrich uranium in secret and even build a bomb of their own.

We know that back in the 1990's, North Korea sold Iran some hardware to help start their enrichment program, so there is some kind of relationship there that exists below the surface. Could that relationship be extended to include cooperation in building a nuclear weapon?

CIA Director John Brennan acknowledged Tuesday his agency is monitoring whether Iran may try to assist its clandestine nuclear program with help from another rogue state such as North Korea, or by colluding with Pyongyang toward the secret purchase and transfer of nuclear weapons for Tehran.

“We have to make sure that we’re doing whatever we can to uncover anything,” Mr. Brennan told a group of reporters in Austin, Texas. “I’m not saying that something is afoot at all — what I’m saying is that we need to be attuned to all of the potential pathways to acquiring different types of [weapons of mass destruction] capabilities.”

That’s impossible, because Bill Clinton’s administration negotiated a great deal with North Korea that would keep their nuclear program peaceful and prevent them from getting nukes..

Obama: not only the worst, but by far the most dangerous U.S. President in history.

Obama has almost single-handedly put not only America and Israel at risk, but the whole world. Of course he did get some help from those who elected him TWICE!!!

With the Iranian ICBM being a copy of the Norks, I would expect that NK help is a given. The question is not if, it’s when. When is set by how many American cities they want to incinerate at the same time.

I would guess also there is a delay while China readies it’s deep water fleet. The Nork ICBM is also a copy of Chinas, the Norms being their sock puppet and all.

Proxy armies is the way things are done these days, but America is always the ultimate target.

A rogue country that says they want to nuke the US might cooperate with a rogue country that says they want to nuke the US? Who knew?

Intel.com, I don't need it right now.

If we bomb the Iranians, you know kill the leaders then we do not have to worry about nuclear attacks.
