NCRI – Following the clerical regime’s announcement today that it had enriched uranium, the White House deplored the move as being "in the wrong direction."
Mullahs’ nuclear chief announced today that the regime had successfully enriched uranium to make nuclear fuel, a major breakthrough in its disputed nuclear drive that defies a UN Security Council demand for the work to be halted.
The announcement came just 15 days before the expiration of a Security Council deadline for Iranian regime to freeze its enrichment programme — a process that can be lead to production of the fissile core of an atomic bomb.
Speaking to a group meeting at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on Monday, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, stressed that "the mullahs seek to acquire atomic weapons as a lever to preserve the religious dictatorship. Nuclear weapons are effective tools to export of Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism. The mullahs deceived the international community about its nuclear program for 18 years."
Mrs. Rajavi concluded: "In order to confront such a regime, the world, has only one logical choice: Acting decisively and quickly. The Security Council must impose sanctions on the regime and the international community must recognize the right of the Iranian people to resist for freedom."
