IRAN'S MISSILE ACCELERATION ACTIVITY REVEALED BY IRANIAN OPPOSITION'S NETWORK OF MEK

INU - On Tuesday, a press conference was held in Washington DC by the US representative office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) where it was revealed that on orders of Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, Tehran has accelerated its missile activities and tests since the Iran Nuclear Deal, known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action of JCPOA.

Based on detailed intelligence obtained by the Iranian opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) from inside Iran — specifically reports obtained from the Defense Ministry and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) — Khamenei has tasked the IRGC’s Aerospace Force with executing this mandate.

For a long time the Iranian opposition has established itself as one of the main sources for exposing secret aspects of Iran’s nuclear activities, as well as the regime’s Weapons of Mass Destruction program.

There is a rising concern over Iran’s missile program. Wide ranging new sanctions were imposed on Iran by the US Senate last week, partly for continuing and expanding its ballistic missile program.

NCRI-US Deputy Director Alireza Jafarzadeh said, “The IRGC’s Aerospace Force is responsible for the regime’s missiles program and the scope of the program is much more extensive than what it was previously perceived.”
