Clerical regime’s chemical and biological weapons program
Compiled in August 2002
This information was obtained by the Command Headquarters of the
People's Mojahedin Organization inside Iran, and was compiled and
provided to the press by the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
The clerical regime has been pursuing an extensive program in the area
of chemical and biological weapon production at full steam over the
years and has recruited many experts from several countries in its
drive to acquire weapons of mass destruction.
1- In the past; as on January 26, 1999, in Washington DC, the Iranian
Resistance has disclosed the mullahs' regime's activities in the field
of chemical and biological warfare and has emphasized that Tehran's
production and research for biological warfare is concurrently
implemented in four different organs:
Special Industries of the Defense Ministry
The Research Center of the construction Crusade organization, which has
four affiliated research firms in the cities of Isfahan, Shiraz,
Tabriz, and Mashad.
Imam Hossein University of Revolutionary Guards Corps, in Tehran
Center for biological research under the control of Iran's Organization for Scientific and Technological Research.
2- One of Khatami's advisory groups, affiliated with the office of the
President, called the Science and Technology Group, has the task of
supervision and management of research centers for Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMD) and has recruited many experts from China,
North-Korea, and Russia. This group purchases its needs from European
countries under the pretext of research and duel-use technologies.
After the installment of biological warheads over ballistic missiles,
it was made certain that the mullahs have turned Iran into a country
with highest production and storage level of biological weapons in this
part of the world.
3- Since 1999, the chemical offense 24th Bessat Brigade of the GC has been re-established in a much larger scale.
This brigade which was dissolved in the fall of 1990 had used chemical
bombs and shells with chemical heads in its Artillery units during the
Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
The headquarter of this brigade is in a military barrack base in the
city of Boroujerd in Lorestan Province. This brigade held a training
camp for its personnel in June of this year.
The personnel of this brigade have been briefed that due to the current
regional situation and sensitivity over WMD, they should refrain from
mentioning the unit's complete name and only refer to it as the 24
Bessat unit. The same consideration is applies to all GC publications.
4- Tehran has stored a significant amount of lethal nerve gas agents
such as TABOON, SARIN, SOUMAN, in liquid, vapor, and powder form- which
if released in the atmosphere, could cause death in a matter of a few
minutes. Cyanide, PHOSGEN, Tri-glycol, Sodium Cyanide are produced or
imported for chemical and biological weapons as well.
5- The Organization of Special Industry, run by the Defense Ministry,
is one of the agencies involved in producing chemical weapons. This
agency which has some 4,000 employees has a chemical laboratory named
VIRA, as well as a chemical material storage known as Shahid Meisam,
located in the Tehran-Karaj highway.
6- The Parchin Chemical Industries, associated with the Defense
Ministry and located in Varamin, south of Tehran, is another center of
chemical and biological weapons of the mullahs' regime. It includes
storage and glass body equipment to produce lethal gas. Much of the
equipment here were old and corroded, but have been repaired by their
Hungarian manufacturer, Lampert and are back in the production line.
7- Imam Hossein University of the Guards Corps, located in northern
Tehran, which is involved in chemical and biological technology, has
used its scholarship students in western countries to spy on this
technology. One of the projects pursued at this university is to build
a fermentor.
8- The center for chemical research and chemical engineering located 14
kilometers west of Tehran, near the Tehran-Karaj highway, is used for a
joint research and technological study of the Revolutionary Guards,
Defense Ministry, and the Engineering Center of the Ministry of
Construction Crusade. The Chinese experts are supervising the research.
9- Our reports, received from inside Iran, indicate that another
complex near the city of Semnan is engaged in producing nerve gas. The
produced chemicals are then transferred to a facility near the city of
Isfahan, which is used to adjust, enhance, and boost the range of
missiles (including Scud-B missiles). |
