Teheran has accelerated its nuclear weapons program, including the production of atomic warheads, an exiled Iranian opposition group claimed in Belgium on Wednesday.
"The Iran regime entered a new phase in its nuclear project," said Muhammad Mohaddessin, a representative of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran, while speaking at a news conference in Brussels.
He said that Teheran had established a command and control center to work on a nuclear bomb for the first time, and that southeast of the capital a center was being set up to produce warheads.Iran has steadfastly denied it was working to obtain a nuclear bomb, arguing that its nuclear program was purely civilian.
In December, the US National Intelligence Estimate said that Iran halted a nuclear weapons development program in 2003 because of international pressure.
Mohaddessin said Iran had closed down one center only to open another later with the same purpose. He called the US report "not accurate."
He said he had provided the latest information to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency on Tuesday and urged them to investigate more sites in Iran and to interview more scientists.
This article is very important because it shows that Teheran is advancing their nuclear programs and even developing atomic substances.
