LONDON – North Korea has supplied Iran with nuclear components to keep an enriched uranium operation near the holy city of Qom "on target to go online," intelligence reports confirm, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

The discovery was made by an MI5 unit from the British Security Service's Watchers Division, which monitors hundreds of targets, including the North Korean embassy in the heart of suburban west London.

The division includes technical support experts who are skilled in planting a variety of listening devices that have been specially developed by MI5 scientists. The bugs are sensitive enough to pick up conversations over a wide area.

The surveillance of the North Korean embassy in a mock Tudor house on London's North Circular road has been in place since it opened in 2003. All foreign legations deemed as "unfriendly" by the Foreign Office are routinely kept under electronic surveillance.

But since Iran's hard line on its nuclear weapons program, the seven-bedroom house, built in the 1920s, has been the subject of round-the-clock surveillance at the request of the government.

The surveillance led to the discovery of the latest links between North Korea and Iran.

How and when the discovery was made remains a classified secret. But an intelligence source in London said: "The discovery will strengthen the fears that Iran is ignoring all threats of sanctions and will continue to press ahead with its nuclear program."
