The Revelation

On August 14, 2002, the main Iranian opposition movement, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) – relying on the detailed information obtained by the network of its principal member, the MEK, inside Iran – revealed the existence of a secret nuclear site in Natanz, central Iran. The revelation triggered the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections of the Iranian nuclear sites for the first time. Twenty years later, it is evident that the nuclear program of Iran has always been a nuclear weapons project.

The Significance

The revelation of Natanz by the NCRI was groundbreaking, because:

  • Led to the start of the IAEA monitoring of all exposed nuclear sites of Iran, which has continued to date.
  • Shed light on the whole nuclear weapons program.
  • Was followed up with several other revelation to provide a comprehensive picture of Tehran’s nuclear weapons program.
  • Led to six UN Security Council resolutions on Iran.
  • Helped save the world from the ability of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism to arm itself with a nuclear bomb, a potential disaster of colossal consequence.
  • Showed the depth and breadth of the network of the Iranian Resistance inside Iran.
