Iran is developing nuclear missiles with a range of 3,000km based on designs handed to the Islamic regime by North Korea, The Telegraph can disclose.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which has previously exposed details of Tehran’s top secret uranium enrichment facilities, has shared information on how the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are expanding their weapons programmes.

The exiled opposition group say that two sites camouflaged as communication satellite launch facilities have been used to rush the production of nuclear warheads.

They are both under the control of the Organisation for Advanced Defence Research (SPND), the regime’s nuclear weapons arm.
