In an exclusive report, Daily Mail claimed that a new document belongs to Iranian government proved that Tehran has been trying to build a nuclear weapon since 2002.

“It shows scientists outlining their proposals for a ‘warhead’, which are given the green light by Tehran’s top nuclear official,” said the report.

According to Daily Mail the document was obtained by Israeli intelligence agents and revealed for the first time by MailOnline. It is reportedly a part of documents found during a raid on a compound in Tehran back in 2018.

The agency published an image of the document which was written in Persian.

It is “a piece of paper dated November 28, 2002, which they say is from a senior Iranian official requesting the parameters of a warhead fitted on a missile,” Daily Mail wrote. “Scribbled in the top left corner is a note from Moshen Fakhrizadeh, Iran's nuclear science chief, who writes: 'In the name of God. Right now, in a treatment process. Please archive the original script of the document. Fakhrizadeh’.”

Iran said its nuclear program is for peaceful purpose and any attempt to establish nuclear weapon by Tehran were always denied.

US President Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal back in 2018 and reimposed international sanctions since then.

In an exclusive interview by Daily Mail, the chief author of the report in MailOnline said that Iran is “the biggest terrorist organization in the world.”
