Iran: AMAD program targets five 10 kiloton warheads for Shahab-3 missiles, archival documents show.
The program operated between 1999 and 2003 and was managed directly by the Ministry of Defense, in contrast to the enrichment activities in Natanz. According to archival documents, Amad was not a scattered operation but a complete industrial structure that covered all stages of bomb construction, from metallurgy to explosion simulation.
