North Korea Suspected To Be Helping Iran Develop A Missile Launch Complex In Senman

The development by Iran of the Simorgh space-launch vehicle (SLV) gives that country a new and improved delivery method for a nuclear armed missile, were they allowed to acquire a nuclear capability. Recent satellite imagery obtained from IHS Jane's now shows a heavily fortified construction site three miles from the existing missile launch site in Senman. The design is similar to a new North Korean launch site, and according to Jane's clearly shows the Iranian determination to develop an effective missile delivery system.

This action by Iran comes as the United States continues to do little, save an ineffective effort to garner international support for sanctions, to stop that country's move to become a nuclear state.
