A Non-Nuclear Iran

The regime's nuclear weapons program remained a secret until 2002 when the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) held a press conference in which revealed the existence of uranium enrichment facilities in Natanz and a heavy water plant in Arak.

These revelations, based on information provided by the community networks of the People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran or the Mujahedin-e Khalq, encouraged the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct an investigation that eventually took the nuclear dossier of the Iranian regime to the Security Council of the United Nations for punitive sanctions.
