Project Islero was an attempted Spanish nuclear program. Created by Agustín Muñoz Grandes and Guillermo Velarde [es] in 1963, the project lasted from the middle stages of Francisco Franco's rule into the beginning of the democratic transition. Although the project never developed a nuclear weapon due to being ended prematurely, the country possessed the capabilities to both design and manufacture the necessary components needed for a hydrogen bomb. The project was cancelled due to American pressures in 1981, although only formally ended in 1987 under Felipe González.[1]
