Iran Moving Nuclear Center To Hoodwink World
2013-10-11
[AnNahar] An exiled opposition group claimed Thursday that Iran has transferred a research center leading its alleged attempt to develop nuclear weapons to a new location in order to hoodwink the world.

"In order to hide its nuclear activities, the Iranian regime is currently in the process of a vast operation moving the center responsible for research and planning of the military nuclear project," Mehdi Abrishamachi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran told a presser in Gay Paree.

According to the opposition group, which has made significant revelations about Iran's nuclear program in the past, the bulk of the center's activities have been moved from a defense ministry property in the east of Tehran to a new site around three kilometers (two miles) away.

Those activities left at the first site could all be regarded as of dual-use -- related to either civil or military uses of nuclear technology -- enabling the regime to disguise their military nature in the event of inspection, according to the NCRI.

"The transfer started at the beginning of September and is not finished but the essential has been done," Abrishamachi said.

The NCRI said it had submitted its information, including a list of 100 alleged employees of the center, to the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency on Wednesday.

Iran denies seeking to develop a nuclear weapons capacity and has said it wants to sign a nuclear proliferation accord with the West. Negotiations on the subject between Tehran, the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany, are due to resume next week in Geneva.

The talks will be the first since the election in June of new Iran's diminutive President Hassan Rouhani.

#2  Zionist propaganda! They only want to have an excuse to attack two sites!

Isn't it nice that the Persians have their own version of the NY Slimes?
