Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program: New Intelligence, New Options

Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program—New Intelligence, New OptionsWashington, DC – The Iran Policy Committee (IPC) is holding a press conference, 11:00 am, Monday, 20 March 2006, First Amendment Lounge, National Press Club, regarding Iran’s nuclear program – with new revelations about its nuclear program.

A UN Security Council Draft Statement on the Iranian nuclear program circulating among Council Members requires Iran to resolve outstanding questions by fully complying with the requirements set out by the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors. The Iran Policy Committee and Strategic Policy Consulting plan to reveal new intelligence relevant to this crucial diplomatic activity.

Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon depends on its capacity to maintain a clandestine program. At a time demand for information is highest, there is also a lack of relevant intelligence on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Fortunately, the Iranian opposition has an excellent track record of providing validated intelligence on Iran’s nuclear weapons developments. To provide a forum for new revelations by the Iranian resistance, the Iran Policy Committee is hosting a press conference on Monday, 20 March 2006 at 11:00 am.

Professor Raymond Tanter, IPC President, is to address the diplomatic action at the United Nations and potential for regime change in Iran. Alireza Jafarzadeh, President, Strategic Policy Consulting, who as then-Washington spokesman for the Iranian opposition, made initial disclosures of Iran’s secret nuclear program in 2002, is to present new evidence of nuclear weapons work in Iran.
