Iran likely has at its disposal the same technology and blueprints that North Korea possesses. Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan has admitted to supplying nuclear technology to North Korea, Iran, and Libya through a black market. His claim has been supported by international investigators, who found that Chinese nuclear designs that were probably supplied to Pakistan in the 1980s were later sold to Libya by Pakistani-led smugglers. Former UN arms inspector David Albright has been quoted as saying, “You have to almost conclude [that the Chinese design] went to Iran and . . . North Korea.” Iran thus has blueprints for nuclear weapons technology that has been successful tested by two other countries, Pakistan and North Korea.
