NCRI – In the current nuclear crisis, any accord between the international community and mullahs’ regime not encompassing complete halt of enrichment, full shutdown of Arak heavy water site, acceptance of the Additional Protocol, and unhindered and free access of IAEA to all of regime’s nuclear sites and specialists who have been kept out of reach of IAEA for so many years, will just give further opportunities to the religious fascism ruling Iran to reach nuclear weapons capability. These steps should also include a halt in production and installation of centrifuges, removing enriched uranium from Iran, or rendering it unusable for nuclear weapons. Anything less is neither “verifiable” nor “transparent”.
It is now 11 years since the disclosure of Natanz and Arak sites by the Iranian Resistance in August 2002, and during all this time, the clerical regime has not voluntarily informed IAEA of even one site or one nuclear project, instead only after their disclosure by the Resistance or their discovery by IAEA and then only after numerous cover-ups attempts and much feet dragging regime has been forced to acknowledge these disclosures. In recent months, the Iranian Resistance exposed a new and totally secret site in Damavand region called “Ma’dan-e Sharq (Eastern mine) ” and it also revealed that mullahs were expeditiously relocating SEPAND (New Defense Researches Organization) to a new clandestine location in Tehran. SEPAND is the center for research and design for the section of mullahs’ nuclear project that is dedicated to building the atomic bomb. This fact is testimony to mullahs’ attempts to cover up their activities to attain nuclear weapons.
It is notable and worth remembering that in the years 2003-2004 where Britain, France and Germany reached an accord with the regime for it to suspend its nuclear program, regime deceptively used this opportunity to complete various aspects of its clandestine nuclear program to achieve nuclear weapons capability. This fact was publicly and plainly bragged about by Mullah Rouhani who at the time headed regime’s negotiations. Including in his interview with state TV on 28 May 2013, concerning regime’s agreement with Europeans to suspend enrichment Rouhani stated: “We completed it… we negotiated in Tehran in September 2003. You know when UCF was launched?! Do you know when yellow cake came out?! It was in winter of 2005 . We halted?! We completed.” Similarly in his speech on November 3, regime’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, referring to the agreements of that era, said: “The experience we had in 2003-2004 concerning enrichment; in its negotiations with these Europeans the Islamic Republic accepted to halt enrichment for a period of time. We were delayed a couple of years, but it worked to our advantage.”
