NCRI reveals Iran secret Natanz and Arak nuclear facilities

At a press conference in Washington, D.C., the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), drawing on intelligence from its MEK network, publicly discloses Iran's two covert uranium enrichment facilities: Natanz and Arak. This revelation challenges Iran's claim that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful. The disclosure triggers international scrutiny and accelerates calls for more rigorous IAEA inspections.
