Tehran defying international inspectors with facility 'making enriched uranium'

Iran has assembled a secret nuclear plant being used to enrich uranium and defy
international inspectors, an Iranian opposition group said today.
The National Council for Resistance, a grass-roots Iranian organization, said
Tehran was producing enriched uranium and testing biological and chemical
warfare projects at a secret plant in northeast Iran which had not been
disclosed to United Nations inspectors. They said the plant is housed in a
covert Iranian Defense Ministry facility known as the Modern Defensive
Readiness and Technology Center and covers about 60 acres of land.
A senior official of the National Council, Muhammad Mohaddessin, said the group
had shared the new information "very recently'' with the International Atomic
Energy Agency. But he and other officials of the group said it had not yet
discussed the matter with the U.S. government.
Mohaddessin said inspection of the site his group revealed would demonstrate
that Iran is secretly trying to produce nuclear weapons even while promising to
freeze a critical part of its declared nuclear program, which it claims is
intended for civilian purposes only.
U.N. inspectors "should not be fooled or deceived by the Iranian regime,''
Mohaddessin said.
The development comes after the European Union announced this weekend it
brokered a deal in which Iran pledged to halt uranium enrichment.
The IAEA said it could still not rule out the possibility that Iran was
conducting covert activities.
"All the declared nuclear material in Iran has been accounted for, and
therefore such material is not diverted to prohibited activities," the agency
said in a report, referring to possible Iran nuclear weapons activity. "The
agency is, however, not in a position to conclude that there are no undeclared
nuclear materials or activities in Iran."
The National Council, based in Paris, is the political arm of the People's
Mujahedeen which is listed by the U.S. State Department as a foreign terrorist
organization because of its involvement in attacks on Americans in the 1970s.
But the group has in the past accurately revealed the location of several
secret nuclear sites in Iran, and is taken very seriously by U.S. and Israeli
intelligence agencies.
If the disclosure proves accurate, it may increase pressure on America and
Israel to take decisive action against Iran.
In July, Israel conducted military exercises for a preemptive strike against
several of Iran's nuclear-power facilities and is ready to attack if Russia
supplies Iran with rods for enriching uranium.
An Israeli defense source said, "Israel will on no account permit Iranian
reactors – especially the one being built in Bushehr with Russian help – to
go critical."
The source also said any strike on Iran's reactors would probably be carried
out by long-range F-15I jets, flying over Turkey, with simultaneous operations
by commandos on the ground.

Yes of course they did. Reliable information yet again from the
hateful WND website.
