  • WASHINGTON [MENL] — Iran has employed schools for nuclear weapons research and development.

    The Iranian opposition said Teheran has used schools and universities to conceal the nation’s nuclear weapons program. The opposition said schools have not been inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

    “Given Teheran’s record of lies and deceptions, using academic institutions to develop a nuclear bomb, makes it even more difficult to stop Iran’s secret development of a nuclear weapon,” Alireza Jafarzadeh, a leading member of the Iranian opposition, told a briefing in Washington on March 20.

    Jafarzadeh, president of the Washington-based Strategic Policy Consulting, said tests for Iran’s nuclear weapons program have taken place at the Imam Hossein University. Located in Teheran, the university has been operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
