Tehran, Apr 8 (ANI): An Iranian dissident group has claimed that secret industrial facilities are making parts for the centrifuges used in the Iranian regime's uranium enrichment program.
The Christian Science Monitor quoted two members of the National Council of Resistance of Iran as saying that two sites have produced around 100,000 centrifuges under the direction of Iran's Defense Ministry.
"The number of centrifuges is way beyond the needs of Tehran for its already-declared sites," Alireza Jafarzadeh, a prominent Iranian dissident who is known for revealing the Natanz nuclear site in 2002, said.
Jafarzadeh and Soona Samsami, an Iranian women's rights activist, have said that both the sites are located at the TABA industrial site outside the city of Karaj and a site called Shafizadeh outside Qazvin.
The two sites are closely managed by the Defense Ministry, Jafarzadeh said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been raising concerns for several years about Iran's growing numbers of centrifuges, and machines used to produce low and highly-enriched uranium, but was not being able to figure out where and how the centrifuges were produced.
Iran has been denying to reveal that information, and only stressed that its nuclear program is meant for peaceful purposes. (ANI)
