 20 years ago today, the Iranian opposition NCRI unveiled for the first time two sites of #Iran's secret nuclear weapons program in Natanz & Arak.

Thanks to the West's appeasement, the ayatollahs are very close to the bomb.

 #Iran IRGC’s Telegram channel posted a video saying regime is now able to quickly build nuclear weapons and its ICBMs can "turn New York into ruins and hell!"
