U.S. intelligence assessed that “Iran is not currently undertaking the key nuclear weapons-development activities that would be necessary to produce a testable nuclear device”, while noting that it had “undertaken research and development activities that would bring it closer to producing the fissile material needed for completing a nuclear device following a decision to do so”. The assessment further highlighted that “Iran’s ballistic missile programs, which already include the largest inventory of ballistic missiles in the region, continue to pose a threat to countries across the Middle East... Iran’s work on space launch vehicles (SLVs) – including its Simorgh – shortens the timeline to an ICBM if it decided to develop one because SLVs and ICBMs use similar technologies”.
