Iran Has Big Tunnel Network To Hide Nukes
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Iran has developed a network of tunnels to conceal the regime's nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missile programs.
Iranian opposition sources said Teheran has built dozens of tunnels and underground facilities to conceal nuclear weapons and missile development and production. They said the tunnels have been built under military facilities sought for inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Alireza Jafarzadeh, president of Strategic Policy Consulting and a former Iranian opposition leader, said Iran has been using underground and military facilities to maintain the regime's secret nuclear weapons program. Jafarzadeh said Teheran constructed the tunnels to prevent monitoring by U.S. military satellites.
"Based on information received from inside the country, the Iranian regime has started an extensive strategic plan in order to build tunnels and secret centers across the country, in order to hide its nuclear and missiles projects," Jafarzadeh told a Sept. 16 briefing that included the Washington-based Nuclear Control Institute and Iran Policy Committee. "Based on the regime's technical and expertise evaluation, given Iran's mountainous geographical conditions, the country is suitable for building tunnels and housing inside them secret military centers."
