For about four decades, even before evidence was documented on the worldwide web, the National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI) started to warn the world about the newest threat to regional and global peace and security: Islamic Fundamentalism.<\/p>\n Exposing the Iranian regime\u2019s warmongering under the pretext of \u2018exporting the Revolution\u2019 to eventually establish a new \u2018Islamic Caliphate,\u2019 shedding light on Ruhollah Khomeini\u2019s ambition to continue the bloody war with Iraq, telling the world about the gross human rights violations and massacres in Iran\u2019s prisons and dungeons, revealing its nuclear ambitions as well as its ballistic missile program<\/a>, and regional adventurism are among many of those efforts.<\/p>\n The underlying chronology demonstrates some of the accounts where the Iranian Resistance has tried to shed light on the darkest corners of the world, where the Iranian regime was plotting, organizing, and committing crimes that had or could have led to the loss of innocent lives and havoc in societies.<\/p>\n Although the report is only a summary, it, nevertheless, provides an appreciation of the contribution the Iranian Resistance has made to world security. The report does not include thousands of media reports that have reported the revelations.<\/p>\n Here is a summary of the most important revelations:<\/strong><\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, September\u00a0<\/strong>25, <\/strong>1987:<\/strong> The Iranian opposition group the Moujahedeen claims to have evidence that the Iranian government has recently built a pipeline designed to transport CW to the southern front. Ali Safavi, the group’s spokesman, charges that the Iranian government was also in the process of stockpiling CW near the southern front for use in its next offensive.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, February 2, 1991:<\/strong> The Iraq-based Iranian opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) alleges that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is using test equipment bought from the German MBB Corporation to extend the Silkworm range. \u2014Kenneth R. Timmerman, Weapons of Mass Destruction The Case of Iran, Syria and Libya (Los Angeles: Simon Wiesenthal Center, 1992), p. 23.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, January 12, 1992:<\/strong> The Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), the Iraqi-based Iranian opposition group, issued a statement claiming that China helps Iran and Pakistan produce conventional and unconventional weapon systems and that China and North Korea have helped Iran build ballistic missiles with a range of 300km.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, April 8, 1993: <\/strong>According to the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), there have been five military delegation teams sent to North Korea in the past year. The last delegation arrived in Pyongyang in March 1993 with 21 members headed by Brigadier General Husayn Mantequei of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). The prominence of missile experts in the last delegation suggests that they observed the final tests of the Nodong-1 and were trained in its use. U.S. Pentagon spokesman Bob Hall says, “We are very concerned about the Iranian effort in this area to acquire this type of [Nodong-1 missile] weaponry, considered to be destabilizing in the region.” The CIA has claimed that the new North Korean missile represents a threat to the stability of both Asia and the Middle East.<\/p>\n Wisconsin Project (<\/u>Iran Missile Milestones<\/a>: 1985-2017): <\/u>January 1998 –<\/strong> According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an Iranian opposition group, Iran has completed the development of the Shahab-3 medium-range missile and it is ready for production.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, January 7, 1998:<\/strong> Alireza Jafarzadeh, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, states that Iran has spent $1.2 billion trying to develop the Shahab missile, including $300 million in the last year. He also states, “Presently, dozens of North Koreans and Chinese missile experts are stationed at the Hemat complex. Russians were helping Iran with thermodynamic problems and wind-tunnel tests but North Korean involvement is substantial.” \u2014Mark Gorwitz, “Foreign Assistance to Iran’s Nuclear and Missile Programs,” Study conducted for the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (Monterey, CA), October 1998, p. 41.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, June 1998<\/strong>: The Iranian National Council of Resistance (NCR) reports that Iran has successfully test-fired the Shahab-3 intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM). The NCR states that the Shahab-3 is moving into the production stage. U.S. intelligence estimates that the Shahab-3 has a range of 800km, making it a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) rather than an IRBM (defined as having a range of 1,400km). Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Mohsen Rezai reports, “Iran has not been able to produce intercontinental ranges but has completed the production process for its short- and long-range missiles.” \u2014”Iran’s Shahab-3 IRBM ‘Ready for Production’,” Jane’s Missiles & Rockets, June 1998, p. 4<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, December 11, 1998:<\/strong> According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Russia has helped Iran solve thermodynamic problems and wind-tunnel tests, while North Korean involvement is considered “substantial.” China is understood to have contributed telemetry equipment. \u2014Ed Blanche, “Iran claims missile self-sufficiency,” Jane’s Missiles & Rockets, 1 January 1999, in Lexis-Nexis, www.lexis-nexis.com.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, January <\/strong>26,<\/strong>\u00a01999:<\/strong> The National Council of Resistance of Iran states that VX nerve agent is produced in the Construction Crusade’s War Engineering Research Center. \u2014 Soona Samsami, “Clerical Regime’s Quest for Biological Weapons & Germ Arsenal,” National Council of Resistance of Iran, 26 January 1999, p. 3.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, January 26,\u00a01999: <\/strong>The National Council of Resistance (NCR) of Iran, an Iranian opposition group, charges today that the Iranian “regime’s BW and chemical weapons program has been intensified since Mohammad Khatami took office as president… (read more<\/a>)<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, February 1999<\/strong>: Iran’s opposition in exile accuses Tehran of researching and developing VX nerve gas, toxic molds, and soil-contaminating agents. \u2014 “Iran Opposition Says Teheran in Deadly Weapons Drive,” CNN, 4 February 1999. www.cnn.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, February 1999<\/strong>: Teheran is concentrating on increasing production to mass production levels, and safeguarding these biological weapons,” says Mitra Bagheri, the Italian representative of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

She also adds that Iran is developing the Shahab-5 with a 5,000km range, and the Shahab-6, which qualifies as an intercontinental ballistic missile. \u2014”Iranian opposition group accuses Iran of missile testing,” Agence France Presse, 16 October 2002.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>, <\/strong>October\u00a0<\/strong>11, <\/strong>2002 – <\/strong>The National Council of Resistance of Iran and American intelligence have reported successful test firings of the missile in a desert range in Iran with contributions from Russian, North Korean and Chinese scientists and companies. According to documents seen by the NCRI, Tehran has secured a $7 million contract with a Russian company for high-grade steel and special alloys for the Shahab-4 missile casing and for foil shielding around the guidance system. This deal demolishes Iranian claims that they were not working on the Shahab-4, as boasted by Mr. Shamkhani.

They name individuals working on the weapons. Also, the group states that the program is run at a number of sites, including two universities and a hospital and Iran is trying to increase its biological scientists from 3,000 to 11,000 by sending academics abroad to learn Western biological and chemical skills.

According to the NCRI, Iran assembles the Shahab 4 at the Hemat Industrial complex, a plant that belongs to the Revolutionary Guard Corps and that is located on the Damavand Tehran Highway. The NCRI asserts that the missile has a range of up to 2,000 km and can carry a 1,500 kg warhead. Foreign assistance, previously from China and Russia and most recently from North Korea, has helped the Iranian regime move forward with the Shahab 4, according to the NCRI.<\/p>\n nti.org<\/a>: December 2, 2004<\/strong>: An Iranian dissident group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) claims that Iran is secretly developing medium and long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching Western Europe and U.S. forces in Iraq. The new long-range missiles, the Ghadr and the Shehab-4, are said to have a range of 3,000 km. NCRI also claims that the upgraded version of the Zelzal missile, the Zelzal-2, may hit targets as distant as 300 km and is designed especially for offensive use, specifically the U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq.

The IRBM is being developed in a basic version named Ghadr 101 and an improved variant named Ghadr 110. According to the NCRI, the Ghadr missiles have a faster set-up time requiring 340 minutes to prepare them for launch rather than several hours associated with Shahab-3. Claims made by the NCRI for the accuracy of Shahab-3 and 4 implies that both missiles are better than expected. The missiles have been produced for deploying in other countries especially in Iran.<\/p>\n Wisconsin Project (<\/u>Iran Missile Milestones<\/a>: 1985-2017): <\/u>December 2004<\/strong> – According to NCRI, Iran\u2019s\u00a0Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO)<\/a>\u00a0is developing several clandestine missiles, including the Ghadr, the Shahab-4, and the Zelzal 2, and is working on nuclear and chemical warheads.<\/p>\n![\"Iran](\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Iran_Regimes_14_Terrorist_Training_Camps_Preparing_to_Strike_West__Daily_Star-1.jpg\" "\\"Iran_Regimes_14_Terrorist_Training_Camps_Preparing_to_Strike_West__Daily_Star-1\\"")
