Mammut Industries and Mammut Diesel are key producers and suppliers of military-grade, dual-use goods for Iran\u2019s missile programs. Since early 2000, Mammut Industries has supported the production of ballistic missile equipment for Iran\u2019s AIO and specifically, Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group (SHIG), Iran\u2019s primary developer of liquid propelled missiles. As of late-2019, Mammut Industries continued to support SHIG\u2019s production of ballistic missile equipment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A spokesman for the Biden administration\u2019s Treasury Department said that the removal of the two entities from the sanctions list does \u201cnot reflect any change in U.S. government sanctions policy towards Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have nothing to do with JCPOA negotiation efforts,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThe United States will continue to counter Iran\u2019s destabilizing activities, including through implementation of our sanctions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report noted that the Biden administration did not address whether the entities had stopped providing support for Iran\u2019s missile program.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has recently failed to honor a key agreement that it reached with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about allowing international inspectors to monitor its nuclear activities.<\/p>\n<p>The agency said in a statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p><em>The (IAEA) Director General (Rafael Grossi) stresses that Iran\u2019s decision not to allow agency access to the TESA Karaj centrifuge component manufacturing workshop is contrary to the agreed terms of the joint statement issued on 12 September. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Iran from 20\u201322 September permitted IAEA inspectors to service identified agency monitoring and surveillance equipment and to replace storage media at all necessary locations in Iran with the exception of the centrifuge component manufacturing workshop at the TESA Karaj complex.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Experts have warned that Iran is, if they haven\u2019t already, dangerously close to having enough nuclear fuel to build a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/israeli-pm-naftali-bennett-warns-world-that-imminent-action-coming-against-iranian-nuclear-program\">warned<\/a> at a recent speech at the U.N. that Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program was \u201cat a critical point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll red lines have been crossed. Inspections \u2014 ignored. All wishful thinking \u2014 proven false,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cIran is currently violating the IAEAs safeguard agreements \u2014 and it\u2019s getting away with it. They harass inspectors and sabotage their investigations \u2014 and they\u2019re getting away with it. They enrich Uranium to the level of 60 percent, which is only one step short of weapons-grade material \u2014 and they\u2019re getting away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvidence which clearly proves Iran\u2019s intentions for nuclear weapons in secret sites in Turquzabad, Teheran &amp; Marivan \u2014 is ignored,\u201d he continued. \u201cIran\u2019s nuclear program has hit a watershed moment. And so has our tolerance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWords do not stop centrifuges from spinning. There are those in the world who seem to view Iran\u2019s pursuit of nuclear weapons as an inevitable reality, as a done deal, or they\u2019ve just become tired of hearing about it,\u201d Bennett added. \u201cIsrael doesn\u2019t have that privilege. We cannot tire. We will not tire. Israel will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
