The Iranian opposition coalition the National Council of Resistance of Iran held a press conference last week in Washington to present new information about missile development and testing in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
NCRI officials reported that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had ordered relevant institutions to accelerate missile activities in the aftermath of the nuclear agreement that went into effect in January of last year. The ongoing testing of Iranian ballistic missiles has been a strong point of contention among the parties that are tasked with keeping the nuclear deal in force. Several such tests have taken place since the conclusion of negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 in July 2015.
Critics have insisted that such activities are in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions calling upon the Islamic Republic to avoid work on weapons that are capable of carrying a nuclear weapon.
The NCRI press conference specified that the IRGC Aerospace Force had been tasked with executing Khamenei’s mandate for accelerated missile work. Drawing on intelligence gathered from its main constituent group the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) from its sources inside of Iran, the NCRI identified 42 centers for the development, manufacture, and testing of missiles by the IRGC.
It also determined that at least one such center, located in Semnan Province, was actively collaborating with the Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (Persian abbreviation: SPND), which had previously been identified as the institution in charge of nuclear weapons-related work in the Islamic Republic.
