Joomla - the dynamic portal engine and content management system, The investigator had been quietly verifying the contents of a 700-page dossier on Abdul Qadeer Khan, the scientist whose reputation as the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb made him the country's most revered figure., Irans hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened on Saturday that the Islamic Republic would leave the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if the international community increased pressure on Tehran over its suspected nuclear weapons program., Iran Suspends Enrichment in Return for EU Pressure on Opposition
The EU-big3 signed an agreement with the religious dictatorship ruling Iran on Monday, Nov 15, based on which, in return for the temporary suspension of uranium enrichment by the clerical regime, the European countries pledged to provide a series of economic, political, technological and security incentives to the mullahs. The most disgraceful part of this deal is that the European countries have committed themselves to continue exerting pressure on the Peoples Mojahedin Organization of Iran.
This dirty deal, however, would have no impact on the regimes secret attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. The Iranian regimes leaders are using the negotiations to buy time in order to obtain the bomb.
Below are parts of the clerical regimes very secret nuclear program, so far hidden from the international community.
The information below is in reference to a nuclear site that belongs to the Ministry of Defense (MD).
1. This key site is a center called: The Modern Defensive Readiness and Technology Center (MDRTC) chaired by Mohsen Fakhri Zadeh, one of the highest ranking nuclear experts. The center is located opposite Nobonyad Area, Mozhdeh Street, Lavizan District, Tehran, in the direction of Babai expressway.
2. The above site was previously occupied by the Ordnance Factory Support Center, a subunit of the MD. The support center consisted of three battalions called Beheshti, Troop Transport and Heavy Transport. The battalions were ordered by Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani to evacuate the place a year and a half ago and they were replaced by the MDRTC. The site is located in a 60 acre area and has three entrances in Mozhdeh Street.
a. The first entrance is from Hussein Abad Sq. where Beheshti battalion was stationed. There is construction work at this entrance.
b. The second entrance leads to the MDRTC and this is where the troop transport battalion was stationed. Mohsen Fakhri Zadehs office is located in this part.
c. The third entrance is situated 500 m from the second and this is where the heavy transport battalion was based. There is a sign at the entrance which reads: The Defensive Industries College. This is where Nader Maghsoodi works and the biological and chemical projects are pursued.
3. The Afore-mentioned center is a secret place and protected by many closed-circuit cameras. Visitors are prohibited from entering the place even those who were working in the same place.
4. Here is an account of the premises in the site:
a. There are many premises and installations in the site including administration buildings, heavy transport park, Bus Park, light vehicles park, heavy transport maintenance, gas station and warehouses, all of which have been handed over to the Modern Defensive Readiness and Technology Center.
b. There are also several buildings in the previous place of Beheshti battalion and the above center started building new premises in recent months.
5. All the equipment and devices in Shian Site were completely moved to the new site and the 11 kinds of activities in nuclear and biological warfare performed there have also been transferred to the new site. Here is a detailed report of the matter:
Ministry of Defense Secretly Moves Nuclear Equipment
In March 2003, the PMOI and the Iranian Resistance disclosed the information about a secret site used by the Defense Ministry. Following the disclosure of the site, the Defense Ministry moved the equipment out of the site and demolished the premises to stop further information of the secret nuclear activities being leaked out.
In March 2004, a series of satellite images taken from Bagh Shian area in Lavizan District were released and it was revealed that the Iranian Ministry of Defense has completely demolished the area and the roads leading to the site in an attempt to eliminate every trace of secret activities.
Subsequently, a team of IAEA inspectors visited Shian site on June 28, 2004. Later, it was stated in ElBaradai's report that there were 11 kinds of activities being performed in the site and the Iranian regime was not willing to explain to the IAEA inspectors about the activities and the equipment in the site.
Here is the recent information obtained by the PMOI about the Defense Ministry's secret activities for completely demolishing the site and moving its equipment elsewhere:
1. Following the disclosure of the information on Shian site by the PMOI, the Nuclear Committee of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) chaired by Hassan Rowhani had predicted that the IAEA would certainly visit the site and would find out about the Ministrys secret nuclear activities there. Therefore, the committee decided to completely demolish the site.
2. Prior to the demolition, the ministry moved the nuclear activities to the secret site of the MDRTC in the MD Ordnance Factory Support Center.
3. There were two Whole-body Counters devices in the demolished site which were purchased by the Iranian regime from western countries in the 90s for peaceful purposes and the Defense Ministry was using them for nuclear research. One of the devices was moved to Malek Ashtar University in Isfahan (a subunit of the Defense Ministry) and the other was moved to a private clinic in Tehran. The purpose of such move was to take the inspectors to the two places above and claim that the devices have been there since the beginning and thereby deceive them.
4. In an attempt to explain the demolition of Shian site, Hassan Rowhani on June 27, 2004 said that the piece of land was owned by the municipality and according to a plan a park was going to be built in the place and the Defense Ministry had reached an agreement with the municipality in this respect. But the municipalitys documents regarding the region which the PMOI received a copy of it stated that: Tehrans municipality area 3 in region 4 (Lavizan District) realized that there were demolition works and earth moving operations going on in a military site in the area and because the municipality authorities were not allowed to enter the site they only reported the event to their superiors.
It was stated in the municipalitys documents that the property bore no relation to this office and that there had been no difference between the Defense Ministry and the municipality over that property.
To keep the information of the site from leaking out, the MOIS which is a member of the Nuclear Committee of the SNSC ordered that the municipalitys reports regarding the matter be destroyed and the employees who had prepared the reports be moved elsewhere.
5. Regarding the demolition of Shian site, the Iranian regime put up the excuse before the inspectors that the building was demolished as the result of a difference between the Defense Ministry and the municipality and presented a number of articles in the local papers on the issue as a proof of its claim and said that that was the reason for demolishing the building.
Mr. ElBaradai said that he could not accept that in a country like Iran a military body demolishes its premises for the sake of municipality and at the same time he had no reason to reject it.
The Preventive Defense Strategy
Since 1989, the Iranian regime has adopted the strategy of preventive defense. This strategy is based on three points:
Accepting high human losses in long term wars
Obtaining rocket defense capability to compensate for the weakness of airpower
Getting armed with nuclear weapon
The deterrent would be achieving the nuclear bomb which stops the US attack on Iran. Following the downfall of the Iraqi regime, Tehran came to this conclusion that the main reason that the US does not attack North Korea comparing to Iraq but negotiates with her is the atomic bomb. So, Iran is trying to arm herself with atomic bomb to avoid being attacked.
MD and IAEO, Tehran's Two Nuclear Wings
The MD and the IAEO are the two bodies who are conducting Iran's nuclear activities in a parallel manner. The IAEO is pursuing the nuclear power stations and the fuel cycle whereas the MD is seeking to achieve the atomic bomb technology and keeps all its activities secret from the IAEO. Many research and preparations are carried out duplicated with huge expenses.
Commanding the Nuclear Project
Similar to what was used in the armed forces where the army and the IRGC were coordinated in the General Staff of the Armed Forces the bodies involved in achieving the atomic bomb are coordinated and led in the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC). Hassan Rowhani is the SNSC secretary and is in charge of Iran's nuclear file. He is pursuing the project of achieving the atomic bomb with a team consisting of the chairman of the IAEO (Gholamreza Agha Zadeh), the Minister of Defense (Shamkhani), the Minister of Intelligence (Ali Younessi), the Foreign Minister (Kamal Kharrazi) and Khamenei's representative (Ali Akbar Velayati) under Khamenei's direct supervision.
The Role of Universities
The universities' experts and professors play a substantial role in three stages of weaponization, research and testing and producing atomic weapon. In this respect, the IAEO actively employs Sharif and Amir Kabir Universities in Tehran and the MD employs Imam Hussein University in Tehran and Malek Ashtar University in Isfahan and Karaj.
Organizational Level of Nuclear Activities in the Ministry of Defense
Until a while ago, the nuclear and biological projects in the MD were part of the activities performed by the ministry's Defensive Research Training Institute (DRTI) chaired by Brig. Gen. Dr. Ali Husseini Tash. But these projects have recently been put under direct control of the MD and supervised by the same person. Husseini Tash is now fully concentrating on these projects and he has been promoted as deputy Minister of Defense. He pursues all the issues regarding the nuclear and biological projects with the defense minister Admiral Shamkhani. After Husseini Tash, the DRTI is now chaired by Muhammad Islami.
In the organization under Husseini Tash, a highly specialized nuclear expert called Mohsen Fakhri Zadeh is in charge of the nuclear projects and Nader Maghsoodi is in charge of the biological projects.

Relations between the Ministry of Defense experts and the IAEO
1. Since 1989 the IRGC and the MD started their organized activities to achieve the atomic bomb and by this way attracted many nuclear experts who pursued secret but continuous activities to reach the nuclear technologies. It should be noted that Iran's relations with Pakistan and Abdul Ghadi Khan in nuclear affairs started through the MD. In recent years, 400 highly specialized nuclear experts were moved from the IAEO to the MD to be added to the previous expert already there.
2. A number of nuclear experts who work in the MD's secret nuclear projects are:
a. Dr. Muhammad Bagher Ghofrani: He is a professor in Sharif University and an ex-official of the IAEO, is now doing research works in the IRGC and military institutes for achieving the atomic bomb. He is expert on enrichment processes and is now working on a secret project.
b. Dr. Muhammadi: He is an official in the Defense Industries Organization but is now based in the nuclear research center in Isfahan.
c. Muhammad Hussein Kashvarz
d. Hussein Sadeghi
e. Parviz Hussein kahni
f. Dr. Ali Abadi, Malek Ashtar University, IRGC
g. Dr. Muhammad Hussein Ghezel Ayagh, Malek Ashtar University, IRGC
3. The Defense Ministry sends some of its specialists and experts to the IAEO from time to time to obtain the latest knowledge and expertise. Ismaeeli and Hussein-Zadeh are among the people who have been sent to the IAEO Jaber Ibn Hayan Laboratory for research and they will be there until January 2005. The laboratory is located in Tehran Nuclear Research Center where uranium hexafluoride is mixed with calcium in order to produce uranium metal referred to as the uranium rod.
4. But the Defense Ministry does not allow the IAEO experts to get the information on its research results because of its classification and secrecy and the relation is one sided.
Centrifuges Experts
Two major centrifuge experts are mentioned below:
1. Behzad (eng.): He is in charge of the production department in Kalaye Electric Company and a highly specialized expert on centrifuges in the IAEO. He knows the latest situation of Iran's centrifuges and their capabilities.

.
As the experience has shown, mullahs would never honor their commitments. The EU-3 are fully aware of this fact. They have no illusions on the mullahs ominous goal of acquiring nuclear bomb. What the EU-3 worries about is that the referral of the mullahs nuclear file to the UN Security Council would hinder their trade with religious fascism ruling Iran.
In this agreement the Iranian resistance has been designated as terrorist when just one week ago, 500 of the most distinguished jurists and dozens of parliamentarians and scores of political dignitaries from all over Europe took part in a seminar in Paris and in nine compelling legal openings announced that the terror label on the PMOI contradicted international humanitarian laws, EU laws, European Human Rights Conventions, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and scores of other international conventions. They also said that the designation violated the presumption of innocence and the right of defense. They reiterated that under no circumstances, the legitimate resistance of the Mojahedin could be labeled as terrorist.
If the religious fascism ruling Iran were to obtain nuclear weapons, the Iranian people and the Iranian Resistance would not be the only victims. This would be a great tragedy for nations in Europe and the Middle East. The EU-3 would be blamed for creating this tragedy. In reality, these three states have put justice, human rights, peace, and security in Europe on sale for the sake of economic interests., The Iranian Resistance announced in May 2003 that research and experimentation related to laser enrichment has been going on in Lashkar-Abad in the Hashtgerd region of Karaj, west of Tehran. We announced at the time that research in this field was being conducted under the direction of Dr. Sabbagh Zadeh. At the time, the mullahs regime strongly denied our revelations. But just a few days ago, the IAEA report noted that the Iranian regime had failed to declare laser enrichment activities at Lashkar-Abad., The National Council of Resistance of Iran has obtained a confidential report by the Iranian parliament, entitled, An appraisal of the conduct of the Atomic Energy Organization, prepared in February 2004. It was filed with the Parliaments office of infrastructural research., In order to keep its nuclear project secret and to expedite obtaining nuclear weapons, many of its sites have been put under supervision of military organs and many of its nuclear experts have been transferred to these organs. The project to achieve nuclear weapons and involvement of military organs is pursued under the supervision of Ali Khamenei, the mullahs supreme leader., Simultaneous with the publication of IAEA report and on the eve of the meeting of the agencys Board of Governors, the Iranian clerical regime is engaged in yet another deceptive attempt to prevent a decisive decision by the international community. According to the information of the Resistance inside Iran, the Iranian regime is trying every means to avoid a decision by the IAEAs Board of Governors next week to refer Irans case to UN Security Council. This would give the Iranian regime enough time to advance their plans for developing nuclear bomb., The Iranian regime is engaged in an all-out and expeditious effort to complete the Qatran Complex in Arak (central Iran). The objective is to obtain plutonium to build a nuclear bomb. The project consists of two parts: A heavy water facility and a 40 megawatt reactor. The site is also used to generate small-scale electricity and major scientific laboratory tasks that are carried out for plutonium production. Based on our information, in the first phase, this reactor will produce about 8 to 10 tons of plutonium that could be used for a nuclear bomb., Today, however, I would like to expose the secret project pursued by the regime to build the neutron initiator to trigger a chain reaction for a nuclear bomb. This renders false the mullahs claims that they are only seeking a peaceful use of nuclear technology., According to reliable reports from ins ide Iran obtained by the Iranian resistance recently, the clerical regime is trying vigorously to obtain Beryllium metal to be used in its secret nuclear project, which is under the supervision of the Revolutionary Guards and the Ministry of Defense. It has smuggled sizeable amounts of Beryllium to Iran surreptitiously to be used for its secret nuclear project., In violation of the Paris agreement with the EU3 on November 2004 regarding freezing all activities on the fuel cycle, upon personal orders of the regimes supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, building and assembling centrifuges have been resumed under the supervision of the Defense Ministry. This has continued non-stop throughout the past few months and thousands of centrifuges have been assembled in Tehran and Isfahan. These centrifuges have been stored in the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense and of the Revolutionary Guards. These warehouses are located in Isfahan and in around Lashkarak district in suburbs of Tehran., Irans Secret Tunnel Project to Conceal Its Nuclear Programs Based on reliable information from within the clerical regime in Iran, Ali Khamenei, the regimes supreme leader, personally authorized a very extensive program to conceal various parts of the regimes nuclear program during the past years., inform you of a new aspect of the clerical regimes clandestine activities to acquire nuclear weapons. In August 2002, the National Council of Resistance of Iran revealed for the first time the Natanz and Arak secret nuclear sites. A few months later, in February 2003, the NCRI revealed information on a secret site in Ab-e Ali near Tehran under the cover of a company called Kala electric., Owing to acute domestic crisis, regional and international challenges as well as popular resistance, the clerical regime is on the brink. In such circumstances, it is bent on guaranteeing its survival by tipping the current balance of power through dominating Iraq and acquiring nuclear weapons. For this reason, obtaining nuclear weapons is indispensable to the strategy it is pursuing., In order to keep its nuclear project secret and to expedite obtaining nuclear weapons, many of its sites have been put under supervision of military organs and many of its nuclear experts have been transferred to these organs. The project to achieve nuclear weapons and involvement of military organs is pursued under the supervision of Ali Khamenei, the mullahs supreme leader., The report you see here is a confidential report by the Iranian parliament, entitled, An appraisal of the conduct of the Atomic Energy Organization, prepared in February 2004. It was filed with the Parliaments office of infrastructural research., Text of press conference by Mr. Perviz Khazai, representative of National Council of Resistance of Iran in Nordic countries on Iranian regimes secret nuclear project, While the international stand-off over the Iranian regimes nuclear program goes on, the radical mullahs in Tehran are in hot pursuit of the Atomic-Bomb., A week after the second round of presidential elections in Iran, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran submitted a report to the office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, entitled
