Who do you believe?
There are people who will never believe anything that President Bush says. So when it comes to Iran, what will it take for people to believe that it is seeking nuclear weapons?
BRUSSELS, Belgium - An exiled Iranian opposition group claimed Wednesday that Tehran was speeding up a program to develop nuclear weapons. "The Iran regime entered a new phase in its nuclear project," said Mohammad Mohaddessin of the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran.
The NCRI is the political wing of the People's Mujahedeen of Iran, which advocates the overthrow of government in Tehran. The Mujahedeen has been designated a terrorist group by the United States and the European Union as well as Iran.
Mohaddessin claimed that Tehran has established a command and research center near a Tehran university. And, he said, Iran is developing a nuclear warhead for use on medium-range missiles at a site on the southeast edge of Tehran. Mohaddessin also claimed that the regime obtained aid from North Korea.
The "terrorist" label aside, the group has provided valid information before, as is noted in the final paragraph of the story (even though the writer then discounts what they have done since).
Four years ago, the group disclosed information about two hidden nuclear sites in Iran.
In other words, they have a better track record than the current government of Iran.
