Iranian scientists are nearing completion of a nuclear warhead, having already successfully tested an implosion system and neutron detonator at a secret site while enriching uranium to weapons grade, according to a former Iranian intelligence officer.

The information comes from Hamidreza Zakeri, formerly with the Islamic regime's Ministry of Intelligence and National Security, or MOIS.

Zakeri previously testified at the federal district court in Manhattan in the Havlish v. bin Laden civil lawsuit, where he provided proof that Iran had materially aided and supported al-Qaida before and after 9/11.

Think tank: Iran 2-4 months away from nuclear warhead

Zakeri, who has in the past provided credible information on another site to Western intelligence agencies, said that after the revelation of the existence of the Iranian atomic research facility in Lavizan-Shian, the team of scientists moved to a secret location in 2003.

The site was then demolished and the earth scraped clean by the Revolutionary Guards. Iranian authorities had denied an IAEA request to visit the site before the cleanup.

Lavizan-Shian was headed by the father of Iran's nuclear bomb program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi.

Read the blockbuster 'Atomic Iran" that reveals the campaign by the world's most dangerous nation to get the bomb.

A 2007 U.S. National Intelligence Estimate concluded that Iran had halted work on its nuclear bomb project in 2003 around the same time that the Iranian atomic research facility in Lavizan-Shian became known. The information was based on intelligence that funding for Fakhrizadeh's work on the project had been frozen.

WND reported last week that a source affiliated with high Iranian officials confirmed Iran could announce a halt to the nation's nuclear enrichment before next month's U.S. election in a move to save Barack Obama's presidency.

The source, who remains anonymous for security reasons, said a three-person delegation of the Obama administration, led by a woman, engaged in secret negotiations with a representative of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The delegation urged the Iranian leader to announce a halt to enrichment, even if temporary, before the Nov. 6 election, promising removal of some sanctions.

The source said the delegation warned that a Mitt Romney presidency would change the U.S. relationship with Iran regarding its nuclear program.

The U.S. representatives reminded the Iranians that President Obama has stood in front of Israel, preventing the Jewish state from attacking Iran over its illicit nuclear arms policy.

The head of Iran's Atomic Organization, Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani, admitted last month that misleading facts were used to deceive the West and protect the country's nuclear advances.

The revelation of the secret Iranian nuclear site, if verified, will dramatically change the Western outlook on the timing of Iran's nuclear capability and will prove that not only the 2007 NIE conclusion was based on disinformation, but that the Islamic regime has already crossed Israel's "red line" and is closing in on nuclear capability.

Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi, a Revolutionary Guards officer and father of three, is on the U.N. Security Council asset freeze and travel notification list and was the key figure in negotiations and exchange of information with Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb project, over Iran's nuclear program. According to the source, he travels under the pseudonym of Hassan Mohseni.

He has been a mysterious figure as Iranian authorities have continuously denied the IAEA's request to interview him. He and his team of scientists have continued their work out of the new secret site, the source said.

Construction of the new site, in the province of Isfahan on the outskirts of the small city of Najafabad, was begun in 1997 and completed in 2002 by Khatam al-Anbia, the engineering arm of the Revolutionary Guards.

To avoid suspicion, the site was built below the medicine factory, "Abu Reyhan."

The facility beneath the factory has three levels, with two underground entrances away from the facility.

Sources in Iran have verified seeing transfer of equipment labeled with "radiation warning" that was then transferred to the underground facility. There is also a security post at the entrance to the road ("Medicine Road") leading to the medicine factory.

Three very deep wells have been dug within the underground facility, although it is not clear why. But also a long underground passage leads to an emergency exit within the adjoining mountain.

Jafar Mohammadi, listed in an annex to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1737 of Dec. 23, 2006, as a person involved in Iran's proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities, is in charge of managing and providing nuclear testing equipment and all technological elements for the facility.

The site – Velayat 1 – which was built with a capacity of 800 centrifuges for uranium enrichment, has been up and running for some time and currently is enriching uranium to weapons grade for the nuclear bomb project.

Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi is being assisted by 10 other scientists, including four of high rank: Akbar Motalbizadeh, Saeid Rashvand, Mohammad Hassan Zahmatkesh and Mansor Roknizadeh. The others are Hossein Rastgar, Seyed Amir Hossein Feghhi, Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, Mahmood Rahimzadeh, Abdulhamid Minochehreh and Jalal Shobairi.

They have been working at the site and on projects 2, 3, 4, 5, 110 (previously project 3) and 111, all within the SEPAND, known by the IAEA as SPND project and under the AMAD weapons program to build atomic warheads.

The site operates under the control of the Revolutionary Guards to expand research and development of nuclear, plutonium and atomic warheads.

Their activities include:
A: Enriching uranium to weapons grade.

B: Testing a neutron detonator and implosion system (chemical explosive lens). As a result of research at the facility, a test was done out of Iran's Parchin military site several months ago. After the revelation of the high-explosives experiment activity, Iran started to clean up the site and continues to stonewall the IAEA's request to inspect the Parchin site.

C: Designing and building a nuclear warhead to arm Iran's Shahab 3 ballistic missile.

D: Separating plutonium for a plutonium implosion-type fission bomb. Iran's heavy-water reactor near the city of Arak is nearing completion and is capable of providing spent fuel that, once processed, could produce plutonium for nuclear bombs. The separation of plutonium from fuel is an easy process requiring dual-use off-the-shelf equipment that Iran has already purchased.

The source indicated Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi's atomic warhead project seeks to build three nuclear warheads in its initial phase. Tests of the implosion system and neutron generator have been successful, the source said, and the design of the nuclear warhead is nearly complete.

The Aug. 30 IAEA report stated that Iran has increased the number of centrifuges to over 2,000 at its previously secret site at Fordow, deep in a mountain near the city of Qom, and is enriching to the 20 percent level. More than10,000 centrifuges are enriching uranium to the 3.5 percent level at Natanz, which currently has enough low-enriched uranium for six nuclear bombs if further enriched.

"The Third Jihad,"

What motivates radical Islam? What are its adherents planning inside the USA? Does the movement really represent a threat to national security?

Americans now have the opportunity to see a dispassionate documentary that answers these questions – a documentary actually used in the training of law enforcement officers around the country, including the New York City police.

It's called "The Third Jihad," and it is the latest offering from the producers of the captivating film, "Obsession." It explores the existence of radical Islam in America and the emerging risk that this "homegrown jihad" poses to national security, Western liberties and the "American way of life."

Joel Richardson shook up the world of Bible prophecy with his best-selling book, "The Islamic Antichrist."

Now he is offering keen new insights into what's happening in the Middle East, the rise of the 12th Imam and the real nature of the Mark of the Beast in a video series offered exclusively in the WND Superstore.

"The Return Is Near: Strategic Insights into the Most Important Moment in History" is a four-DVD package dealing with four themes:

• Understanding and reaching Muslims for Jesus: In this powerful session, Richardson identifies the key spiritual factors affecting Muslims today and how the believer is to respond. You will discover why Islam rejects God as a Father, why Islam rejects Jesus as the divine son of God and why Islam rejects the Jewish people as inheritors of God's promises. You will also discover how to reach Muslims and win them for Jesus. Also discussed is a heretical movement quickly infecting the church called Chrislam and what we can do to stop its creeping influence.

• Understanding what's next in the Middle East and how it will affect you: As revolutions, protests and riots continue to radically reshape the face of the entire Middle East, Richardson explains what will come next and how it will affect all of us. Through examining the prophecies of Daniel 8 and 11, Richardson shows how the unfolding events in the Middle East today are all talking place according to God's divine plan. This session will thoroughly equip you to understand the region.

• Birth pangs in the news and the coming global earthquake: As massive earthquakes continue to shake the nations, few believers are aware that the Bible predicts a massive cataclysmic coming earthquake that will level every nation of the earth. When will this happen and what is the major event that will bring this about? By reviewing data from the United States Geological Survey, Richardson also shows how massive earthquakes are rapidly increasing in frequency, pointing to the soon coming of Jesus the Messiah.
• What you need to know about the 12th Imam and the Mark of the Beast: What do the leaders of Iran really believe about the end of the world and the destruction of the Jewish people? In this highly educational session, Richardson discusses the frightening Shi'a Muslim belief in a mysterious messiah figure known as the 12th Imam. Could the 12th Imam of Islam be the Antichrist described in the Bible? Or will the Antichrist emerge instead from the Sunni Muslim world? How does Islamic end time belief correspond to biblical belief? Also discussed in this session is the Mark of the Beast and Islam as well as the Mark of God and described by the prophet Ezekiel.

• The foundation for all of his work begins with "The Islamic Antichrist," in which he breaks new ground with this devastating account of the seemingly undeniable connection between the biblical Antichrist and the Islamic Mahdi. The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the name of peace. The Quran also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Quran is called the Mahdi, or Islam's savior. However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Could it be possible that they are one and the same person? In "The Islamic Antichrist," Richardson exposes Western readers to the traditions of Islam and predicts that the end times may not be that far away. His book has stunned readers unaware of the striking similarities between the Antichrist and the "Islamic Jesus."

• Richardson is also the co-author, with Walid Shoebat, of "God's War on Terror: Islam, Prophecy and the Bible."

• "Islam and the Endtimes, Part 1″is a three-DVD package laying the groundwork for Richardson's theories – all backed up by scripture overlooked by other prophecy teachers. The first session offers "An Introduction to the Islamic End Time Theory." The second session is titled "The Return of Christ in the Old Testament." The third session is "The Islamic Empire in the Book of Daniel." The fourth teaching session is "The Theology of the Antichrist." The final session is the Q&A covering a variety of topics.

• The followup video series is "Islam and the Endtimes, Part 2." It offers more than six hours of teaching on the following topics: "The Post Tribulation Rapture"; "Who Are ‘The People of The Prince to Come?'"; "The Battle of Gog and Magog"; and "Identifying the Coming Beast Coalition."

• You can save money by buying both of the above video teachings as a package in the WND Superstore – "The Islam and the Endtimes Bundle."

• Lastly, there's "Understanding the Times," a four DVD package exploring the following: The singular unified message that is proclaimed from Genesis to Revelation, first by the prophets and then by Jesus and the apostles; Current events in light of biblical prophecy; Who or what is Mystery Babylon?

"I've been a student of Bible prophecy for more than 30 years and Joel Richardson has effectively challenged some of my most basic assumptions," says Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND and founder of WND Books, which published "The Islamic Antichrist." "You owe it to yourself to be challenged, too."

"Islam Rising: Geert Wilders Warning to the West": Geert Wilders lives with a constant death threat over his head. Al-Qaida has vowed to kill him. As a Dutch parliamentarian and outspoken critic of radical Islam, Wilders must travel with four bodyguards and sleep in a safe house, each and every night. His short documentary film, "Fitna" (included in this DVD) set off a firestorm in the Middle East and Western Europe immediately upon its release. The controversial film showed how Islamic terrorists are following the literal dictations of the Quran.

"Sacrificed Survivors: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque":When Islamic terrorists flew two jets into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, the world changed forever for those who survived the attack and the family members of the nearly 3,000 murdered victims. Now, as plans for a mosque move forward at Ground Zero, just steps away from the twin towers, the survivors and family members are experiencing yet another type of Islamic jihad. Christian Action Network/PRB Films tells their poignant and shocking stories in this new film.

"Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.": This may be the most shocking video you will ever see. Scattered across the United Sates, unknown to all but a handful of citizens, are 35 Islamic terrorist training compounds known as "Muslims of America." Under the leadership of a radical Pakistani cleric, Sheikh Mubarak Gilani, Muslims of America has thousands of devoted followers who are being groomed for "homegrown jihad." In never-before-seen video footage, the Christian Action Network exposes these dangerous terrorist compounds and reveals for the first time a secret training tape in which American Muslims are recruited to "join one of the most advanced training courses in Islamic military warfare" ... right here in America! They are called "Soldiers of Allah" and they are trained in explosives, kidnapping, murder, firing weapons, and guerrilla warfare. They are told "Act like you are a friend, then kill him just like from the book."

"Islam Rising: A Call to One-World Ummah Domination":Over three years in the making this powerful four-part series DVD is packed with hours of hard-hitting information from former Muslims and experts in Islam: a professor, an apologist, a missionary to Muslims, three ex-terrorists, a journalist who survived Palestinian terror tactics, the daughter of a shahid (martyr) and a victim of holy "jihad" war of polygamy who converted to Islam and has returned to freedom in Christ.

"First Comes Saturday, Then Comes Sunday": Why has there been a great-and-little-reported Christian exodus from the Middle East, with some two million fleeing in the past 20 years alone? This Christian exodus is a result of many factors, including the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, the related decline of the economy, but perhaps most significantly, the religious persecution these Christians encounter from their Muslim neighbors. "First Comes Saturday, Then Comes Sunday" is a well-known phrase in the Middle East meaning: "First we take care of the Jews (who pray on Saturday) then we will take care of Christians," the "Sunday people".
