In 1992, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) learned that the then Minister of Transportation of Kazakhstan had travelled to Iran. On that trip, the mullahs’ regime succeeded in reaching an agreement to buy three nuclear warheads from Kazakhstan for hard cash.
The Iranian Resistance learned of the deal in time, disclosing the purchase of these nuclear warheads by the regime. On 12 October 1992, the Washington Post wrote that an official of Mujahedin-e Khalq, whose reports have proven credible in the past, warned of the Khomeini regime’s nuclear purchases. Through their sources in Tehran, the MEK learned that the regime ruling Iran has signed an agreement with Kazakhstan and had already paid the money for these warheads that were being purchased probably to be installed on Chinese silkworm missiles.
In December 1992, Torkan (at the time Minister of Transportation and currently senior advisor to President Hassan Rouhani), and Reza Amrollahi, (at the time Chief of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran), went to Kazakhstan to meet with Kazakhstani officials and to push ahead with the contract signed a few months previously with Kazakhstan’s Minister of Transport.
Kazakhstan officials stated that following the disclosure of the deal by the PMOI, they were facing international pressure and that especially due to pressure from Boris Yeltsin (Russian President at the time), they could not go ahead out the agreement.
A few years later, Mr. Bolat Nurgaliyev, former Kazakhstan’s Ambassador to the United States, confirmed the agreement. The Washington Times of November 2, 1996, wrote that Kazakhstan’s Ambassador to United States had confirmed that the Iranian regime had made attempts to purchase nuclear equipment from the main nuclear sites of his country.
He stated that the deal was halted in 1992 and packages were still waiting to be sent. Mr. Nurgaliyev said that as a nascent independent state when Kazakhstan was trying to resolve its problems with its nuclear arsenal, Iran’s representative contacted its nuclear facilities and requested specific items. According to intelligence sources, Iranian regime officials visited the facility and requested highly enriched uranium to be used in their nuclear weapons program.
After the failure to purchase a ready-to-use nuclear bomb from former soviet republics, and the disclosure of the purchase of the bomb from Kazakhstan, the mullahs’ regime began extensive activities to acquire nuclear technology.
The Iranian Resistance places the Mullahs on the the nuclear proliferators list!
Last year, a member of regime’s Exigency Council stated: “Spending billions, Mohammad Khatami and Hassan Rouhani placed the PMOI on the terrorist list, but reciprocally, through exposing the Natanz and Arak heavy water sites, the PMOI placed the Islamic Republic on the sanctions’ list. They succeeded in getting off the terrorist list, but the noose of sanctions becomes tighter and tighter around system’s neck with every passing day.”
In August 2002 in Washington, the Iranian Resistance disclosed the regime’s massive enrichment plant at the Natanz Site and its plan to attain plutonium from the Arak heavy-water reactor and the 40 megawatt reactor (IR40), plus the test site for centrifuges in the Kala-electric Company in Tehran.
The revelation came at a time when the U.S. and Britain, as principal parties in the coalition to attack Iraq, were negotiating with Hassan Rouhani as the Secretary of the mullahs’ Supreme Security Council. In exactly that same period of August 2002, IRGC commander Mohsen Rezai wrote on his website as Secretary of the State Exigency Council that in attacking Iraq, the coalition had to bombard the PMOI.
Primarily, the PMOI revelations were not embraced by the West, but the disclosure was so great and accurate that they could not be ignored.
Eight months later, Mr. Albaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency at the time, visited Natanz in March 2003. The Iranian Resistance had given the exact location of the research centrifuge cascade to the agency. The regime had hidden the location among dozens of similar locations in Natanz. Once Mr. El Baradei entered Natanz, he went directly to the intended location and after a short visit he declared that at present Iran enjoyed uranium enrichment capability.
