However, the news that Iran is developing nuclear weapons isn\u2019t news at all: Western policymakers have been warned of such plans and intentions for years with exacting intelligence from the main Iranian opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI\/MEK).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In 2002, MEK activists risked their lives and revealed the existence of secret nuclear sites in Iran, notably the uranium enrichment site in Natanz. Since then, these activists have played a key role in the international community\u2019s efforts to catch Tehran in its hide-and-seek escapades.<\/p>\n<p>The MEK revealed in 2008 that Tehran\u2019s scientists were working on nuclear warheads in Khojeyr, and in 2009 they unmasked the site where Tehran was working on detonators for implosion. In their latest revelation this past July, the headquarters for coordination of various aspects of nuclear weapons program that was controlled by the dreadful Revolutionary Guards was exposed.<\/p>\n<p>The MEK established the existence of a secret nuclear site at Qom in 2005 \u2014 four years before it was announced by leaders of the U.S., United Kingdom and France jointly in 2009. The fact that Iran, under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is moving more advanced centrifuges to this underground site has compounded the concerns. And when the now defunct National Intelligence Estimate in December 2007 claimed that Iran had stopped the nuclear weaponization process, the MEK insisted its information proved the opposite. Time revealed the truth.<\/p>\n<p>The warnings by the Iranian dissidents \u2014 most of whose information was at some point corroborated \u2014 resulted in precious little action in the West, which lumbered between sanctions and empty threats against the mullahs in Tehran. And instead of showing gratitude, Washington has marginalized the MEK and relegated them to an uncertain future, which may end up in their mass slaughter.<\/p>\n<p>In 1997 the MEK, which at one time advocated the forceable overthrow of the regime in Tehran, was placed on the State Department\u2019s Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list as a \u201cgoodwill gesture\u201d to open dialogue with the mullahs. Yet the MEK, which had subsequently disarmed and renounced violence against Iran, kept providing first-hand intelligence on Iran\u2019s inner workings, particularly in the nuclear area. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in July 2010 strongly challenged the designation and ordered the State Department to review it.<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of senior former American officials from the past three administrations have urged Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to revoke the MEK\u2019s designation. In their call, they have joined more than 100 members of Congress and more than 4,000 parliamentarians around the world. Yet the State Department is still procrastinating.<\/p>\n<p>The unjust designation of MEK as a foreign terrorist organization has set the stage for humanitarian crisis. It has provided an excuse for Iraq \u2014 at the behest of the Iranian regime \u2014 to oppress, and even massacre, those among the 3,400 Iranian dissidents residing at Camp Ashraf in Iraq who are \u201cprotected persons\u201d under the Fourth Geneva Convention.<\/p>\n<p>After two armed assaults by the Iraqi Army on the camp in 2009 and last April \u2014 when 36 people were killed and 300 injured \u2014 the Iraq government led by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki set Dec. 31 as the deadline for the camp to close. His only excuse for murdering Iranian dissidents is the blacklisting by the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, when the Iranian regime was caught plotting to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, President Barack Obama vowed to impose the \u201ctoughest sanctions.\u201d Now, the prospect of Tehran\u2019s terror masters being equipped with the most dangerous weapons looms as close as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Given the current state of affairs, sanctions alone would not suffice. The U.S. should adopt a contingency plan, applicable immediately that would include the following steps:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 \u2009Removing the shackles from the Iranian opposition by removing the terror tag.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u2022\u00a0 \u2009\u2009Extending the deadline on the residents in Ashraf and preventing any Iraqi action on them.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u2022\u00a0 \u2009\u2009Imposing sanctions on the Iranian central bank.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>\u2022\u00a0 \u2009Organizing a campaign by our European allies to embargo Iranian oil to choke off the lifeline of the Revolutionary Guard.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Three years ago, then President-elect Obama said, \u201cIran\u2019s development of a nuclear weapon I believe is unacceptable. We have to mount an international effort to prevent that from happening.\u201d The time for action is now, Mr. President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. leaves cooperative dissidents hanging Boston Herald &ndash; By Tom Ridge&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp; Tuesday, November 15, 2011&nbsp; The just-released International Atomic Energy Agency report on the Iranian nuclear weapons program should [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-11441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iran-resistance","8":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
