Radio America, June 25, 2017 - New evidence collected by opposition sources shows Iran’s mullah-led regime has been accelerating itspursuit  ever since it became clear the West was committed to making a deal back in 2015.
, are blatant evidence the regime continues to pursue nuclear weapons, according to a report released Tuesday by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, or NCRI .

“Tehran had decided (before the nuclear deal was finalized) to step up their efforts on the missile side of their rogue behavior, namely expanding both the production of the missiles but their readiness to deploy them and make them operational,”said Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the NCRI’s U.S. office, at a news conferences in Washington.
Jafarzadeh said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, is taking a bigger role in the missile program through the Aerospace Force.
“It used to be called the Air Force of the IRGC, basically having helicopters control airports and all of that. Since a few years ago, they changed the whole structure into Aerospace Force, meaning the dominance is with the missile program. Most of their work is the expansion of the missile program,” said Jafarzadeh.

The new report, gathered through intelligence sources in Iran who are hostile to the regime, shows a vast network of facilities working on the missile program.
“We managed to identify, so far, 42 different locations around the country that are dedicated to their missile program, and they include sites that are engaged in the design, production, testing and launching their missiles,” said Jafarzadeh.
The 2015 Iran nuclear deal did not force Iran to make any concessions with respect to ballistic missiles, but Jafarzadeh said the current efforts violate United Nations Security Council resolutions against Iran missile development.
