WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- Subsequent to the Iranian Resistance's revelations about
the Lavizan-3 site, which the religious fascism ruling Iran had hidden for years, panic and fear have
set in among the leaders of the regime, who are extremely worried
about the implications of the disclosure of the new nuclear
site.
Instead of inviting International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
inspectors to visit the location, the regime sidestepped simple
questions about Lavizan-3 - the nature of the site and the
activities there – and unleashed a barrage of insults, fallacies,
red herrings, and lies.
When all such gesturing proved ineffective, the clerical regime
fell back on another tactic, thrusting its agents to the scene to
claim that the door, the picture of which was displayed during
Tuesday's press conference, was an image grabs from the website of
a safe manufacturer company called GMP. On February 26, the regime's official news agency
IRNA quoted a state-affiliated website as saying, "It was claimed
that the picture shows an explosive-proof vault door related to the
site. ... The picture was taken by a fire-proof door manufacturer
GMP and is available on its website." The carbon copy of this story
was then disseminated through a large number of other
state-affiliated media outlets.
However, the multi-year investigations of the MEK and the NCRI's
Security and Anti-terrorism and Defense and Strategic Research
committees are comprehensive and detailed enough that the regime
cannot sweep the scandal under the carpet by resorting to such
lies.
The NCRI-US would like to make public the following additional
points with respect to GMP, as well as the picture based on
information obtained by MEK sources inside Iran:
- While the regime wants to portray GMP as a private safe
manufacturer, it is in fact a state-affiliated enterprise disguised
as a private company. It specializes in manufacturing heavy
explosive-proof, radiation-resistant doors, and bullet-proof
vaults, winning customers exclusively from the regime's military
institutions, defense ministry, intelligence ministry, the Atomic
Energy Organization of Iran, and
the National Iranian Oil Company.
- The company manufactures doors to protect weapons depots
operated by state organs such as the Intelligence Ministry. Some of
the doors are small enough to allow people to go through while some
are large enough to allow vehicle passage. Last year, the company
produced explosive-proof doors for Pars Garma in Gachsaran, which
is affiliated with the defense ministry. Pars Garma was previously
exposed by the Iranian Resistance and is involved in digging a
number of tunnels for the IRGC Space and Aviation Organization
(which produces missiles) as well as the regime's nuclear
installations.
- In 2004, Kalaye Electric Company ordered four doors from GMP.
Kalaye Electric's go between with GMP was an individual named
Shahbazian, an acquaintance of Farrokh
Esfandiari, the Director General of GMP. At the time,
the cost of building each door was about $30,000, with a construction time of roughly
three months. Their dimensions were 3m x 3m, with a thickness of 40
cm, each weighing 8 tons. The doors are made from two thick metal
with shielding layers including lead in the middle designed to
block radiation. The doors are custom built and information about
them is classified. The quality of the parts is vetted by the
client, with some parts imported from abroad.
- Three documents showing the company's communications with the
Defense Ministry have been obtained by the Iranian Resistance. One
of those documents outlines specifications and calculations
concerning radiation-proof doors. A part of the document regarding
radiation-proof doors has been posted on the company website. In a
catalogue on radiation-proof doors, which have been installed at
Lavizan-3, GMP notes that the doors are used for "nuclear
facilities" and have "military applications for nuclear and laser
systems." On its website, however, the section on "military
applications for nuclear and laser systems" has been
removed.
- The catalogue specifies, "This product ranks among products
that may potentially be used in the nuclear energy program and
remains under sanctions. External procurement is impractical and
importing them is not financially feasible due to the high overall
costs - roughly four times the cost of production by this company,
which yields the same quality of product." Clearly, GMP is well
aware of the applications of these doors in nuclear
installations.
- USA Today wrote in its Friday
edition that GMP posted a picture of the doors installed at
Lavizan-3 on its website on February 12,
2015. The Iranian Resistance, however, had obtained a number
of such pictures long before. The original of the picture displayed
during the press conference on February
24 shows the same door as well as an extensive portion of
the GMP workshop, which is different from the picture posted on the
company's website and could not have been a downloaded copy. The
two pictures, one posted on the website and the other, the original
of the picture displayed at the press conference, have been
enclosed.
- The NCRI-US repeats its calls to the IAEA and P5+1, especially
the U.S. government, to enable UN inspectors to immediately visit
the site before the Iranian regime can destroy evidence of
wrongdoing as it did with regards to the Lavizan-Shian location.
Otherwise, continuing negotiations with this regime and any form of
agreement with it would amount to accepting its deceptive tactics
while leaving the door open for the acquisition of a nuclear weapon
by the godfather and banker of international terrorism.
