Iran dissidents: Tehran continues nuke arms work

None

VIENNA - Iranian dissidents say that Tehran is still researching nuclear arms at facilities it relocated to escape detention.

 

The Mujahedin-e Khalk, or MEK, cites Iranian government sources it did not identify. It said Wednesday that Iran's Organization of Defensive Information and Research, or SPND, moved its most sensitive weapons research to a new Tehran location "in recent months."

 

It says Mohsem Fakhrizadeh, whom it described as a Revolutionary Guard brigadier general, leads the SPND. Some - but not all - of the MEK's previous information has been confirmed by Western governments and the UN nuclear agency probing Tehran's atomic activities.
