IAEA DG Rafael Grossi said #Iran’s regime had failed to reduce concerns about violations of its nonproliferation safeguards agreement, will eventually cross the uranium enrichment threshold. #IAEA’s Board of Governors is to decide on decades of denial, deception & duplicity.
The IAEA report is perhaps the most damning since its Nov 2011 report, which highlights clear activities related to the Possible Military Dimensions (PMD) of Iran's nuclear program, i.e., uranium particles of anthropogenic origin at three undeclared locations in Iran. 2/
These 3 locations are, Turquzabad (2019), Varamin (2020) and ‘Marivan’ (2020). Despite "numerous opportunities, in different formats," IAEA report states, "Iran has not provided explanations that are technically credible in relation to the Agency’s findings at those locations."3/
IAEA Conclusion: "Unless & until Iran provides technically credible explanations for the presence of uranium particles" and "informs the Agency of the current location(s) of the nuclear material and/or of the contaminated equipment," the safeguards issues "remain outstanding."4/
This nuclear deception has been going on for decades. #Iran regime was caught in the act when the #NCRI exposed its clandestine nuclear weapon’s program on August 14, 2002, revealing the sites in Natanz and Arak, in a press conference in Washington DC. 5/ c-span.org/video/?172005-…
In Sept 2004: NCRI Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Mohammad Mohaddessin revealed information on a secret high-level meeting, where Khamenei appointed Hassan Rouhani with the task of deceiving the international community, preventing disclosures until they achieve the bomb.6/
In his book ‘National Security & Nuclear Diplomacy,’ Hassan Rouhani wrote: “Iran planned a ‘fait accompli,’ and run 54,000 centrifuges by 2003 & produce 30 tons of 3.5% fuel annually, but the #MEK launched a press conference and exposed the sites of Natanz and Arak.” 7/
In June 2015, NCRI-US published, Iranian Regime’s Nuclear Duplicity, An Analysis of Tehran’s Trickery in Talks with the P5+1, detailing how the regime used Rouhani & his team to deceive the nuclear negotiators while advancing the nuclear weapons program.ncrius.org/publications/b… 8/
In Dec 2015: NCRI revealed that a top-secret committee of #IRGC officials from the Ministry of Defense were tasked with drafting the responses to #IAEA’s PMD inquiries to cover up the military dimensions of the nuclear program. ncrius.org/publications/b… 9/
In an interview with the state-run TV, Jan 2019, Ali Akbar Salehi, former head of the regime’s Atomic Energy Organization acknowledged that they had lied about the Arak site during negotiations and had hidden prohibited equipment, upon Khamenei’s order.10/
November 27, 2021, Fereydoun Abbasi, former head of #Iran regime’s Atomic Energy Organization, confessed in an interview, that Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the assassinated former head of the regime’s nuclear weapons project, had created a system to produce a nuclear bomb. #IAEA 11/
Former deputy parliament speaker Ali Mottahari, confirmed in an April 24, 2022 interview that the regime was actually trying to make the nuclear bomb. “Our goal was to build the Bomb & enhance dissuasive power. But #MEK revealed the secret reports.” 12/ dw.com/fa-ir/a-615808…
#IAEA resolution by the Board of Governors is expected now. Yet, stopping the regime’s nuclear weapons & decades of deceptions requires reimposition of the 6 UNSC resolutions, ending Tehran's’s nuclear sites and enrichment capabilities & anytime,anywhere inspections.#FreeIran 13/
BREAKING NEWS: The UN nuclear watchdog's 35-nation Board of Governors overwhelmingly passed a resolution which "expresses profound concern" about #Iran's regime for failing to explain uranium traces found at 3 undeclared sites, & called on the regime to act "without delay." 14/
This overwhelmingly passed resolution is significant for three reasons: 1) It is the first since June 2020; 2) Happens after over a year of fruitless negotiations to revive the #JCPOA; 3) Passed after Tehran disconnected some #IAEA monitoring cameras, threatened to do worse. 15/
Yet, as @Maryam_Rajavi said, "Tehran's nuclear dossier should be referred to the UN Security Council ASAP & six UNSC resolutions should be reinstated NOW. Postponing the issue to the next meeting of the #IAEA BoG provides further opportunity to the regime to produce the Bomb."16/
.@Maryam_Rajavi added, "The regime's nuclear & enrichment sites must be shut down & unconditional inspections carried out...The ruling mullahs in Iran have never abandoned the program of acquiring a nuclear weapon as a guarantor of the survival of the Velayat-e-Faqih regime." 17/
This regime spends resources of #Iran's people to preserve its rule. The cost of the regime's nuclear weapons project & secret facilities--first exposed by the Iranian Resistance--is about $ 2 trillion, a key cause of the terrible poverty of the Iranian people. #FreeIran 18/
#Iran's regime informed the IAEA about the removal of 27 monitoring cameras, according to DG Rafael Grossi. "Fatal blow" to the JCPOA if the regime doesn't restore access within 3-4 weeks, he says. Another indication that Tehran never abandoned its nuclear Bomb project. 19/

A Swedish Prosecutor released the indictment on Hamid Noury, a regime henchman involved in the #1988Massacre: Khomeini issued a decree, stating that all prisoners in Iranian prisons who were affiliated with the MEK & remained faithful, were to be executed. ncr-iran.org/en/ncri-statem…
"Shortly afterward, mass executions of supporters of MEK in the Iranian prisons began. Between July 30 & August 16, 1988, Hamid Noury, as an assistant prosecutor...in collusion with other perpetrators at Gohardasht Prison in Karaj, executed a large number of members of the MEK."
"Hamid Noury’s participation in the executions consisted of him...with others...selecting which prisoners would be brought B4 a court-like commission...to decide which prisoners to be executed. Noury...attended & participated in the executions." #1988Massacre #ProsecuteRaisiNow

Iran’s presidential candidates, henchman Ebrahim Raisi, IRGC Brig Gen Ali Larijani, Es’haq Jahangiri, Saeed Jalili & half a dozen Revolutionary Guards commanders played major role in crimes against humanity, war crimes, repression, censorship, corruption &terrorism. #رئیسی_جلاد۶۷
Ebrahim Raisi, became Assistant Prosecutor in Karaj in 1980 at the age of 19 and a year later as Prosecutor of the Revolutionary Court of Karaj, and shortly thereafter as the prosecutor of Hamadan; he has been involved in the killing of so many innocent people. #رئیسی_جلاد۶۷
In 1985, due to his active role in killing those associated with the main opposition, the MEK, Ebrahim Raisi was appointed as the deputy Revolutionary Court Prosecutor in Tehran, and director of division suppressing opposition groups. #رئیسی_جلاد۶۷ #BoycottIranShamElections

Treasury Targets Billion Dollar Foundations Controlled by Iran’s Supreme Leader home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel… The Execution of Khomeini’s Order ‘EIKO’, is the richest and highest revenue-generating enterprise controlled by Khamenei. The other is The Astan-e Qods-e Razavi Foundation.
"EIKO and AQR control large swaths of the Iranian economy, including assets expropriated from political dissidents and religious minorities, to the benefit of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior Iranian government officials." EIKO was also designated in 2013 under E.O. 13599.
EIKO, also known as SETAD, has been able to take possession of some of the most profitable and largest commercial and financial firms, thanks to the direct and daily backing of Khamenei himself. The most conservative estimate of SETAD wealth is $95 billion.

Supreme Leader @khamenei_ir &his patronage network, Minister of Intelligence & his notorious ministry (MOIS) have been engaged in killing, massacre of Iranians & #terrorism abroad. Such designation & more are warranted, as Iranian people have been chanting “Death to Khamenei.”
Intel Minister Mahmoud Alavi designated today under E.O. 13553, for "serious human rights abuses" against the Iranian people, also collaborated with Foreign Minister @JZarif in a series of terror plots in Europe since 2018. Both deserve additional #terrorism designation as SDGT. Image
Treasury stated Alavi's "MOIS agents are responsible for beatings, sexual abuse, prolonged interrogations&coerced confessions of prisoners, particularly political prisoners." Recent example is wrestling champ #navidafkari murdered after torture for participating in #IranProtests. Image

Prosecutors: Iranian diplomat Assadollah Assadi handed over a bomb package,"to plant it at a mass rally near Paris two days later attended by tens of thousands of opponents of Iran’s theocratic regime & by prominent British & American politicians." #Iran #Terrorism @statedeptspox
"This was no casual encounter, as the plainclothes officers watching them knew. The diplomat, Assadollah Assadi, 48, is thought to be a member of Iran’s intelligence service, and the package allegedly contained a powerful bomb," according to The Sunday Times. 2/ Image
The suspected Pizza Hut plot, which would have caused a mass loss of life if succeeded, was thwarted in an operation involving Belgian, French German police. Next week, after a 2yr investigation, the 3 suspects, together with a 4th man, are due to go on trial in Antwerp. 3/

Indeed long overdue. No "Ambassador" title should cover the nature of a terror master. Iraj Masjedi is one of the most veteran commanders of the IRGC and one of the first commanding organizers of its Qods Force, which was formed in early 1990s to do nothing but #terrorism. 1/
Prior to 2003, Masjedi was the commander of Ramazan Garrison in Western Iran, which was the base of the regime forces and groups who pursued terrorist operations in Iraq. Hadi Ameri (then commander of the Badr Corp) and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, were under his command. 2/
After 2003, Hashd Al-Shaabi (militia) was fully under the command of Iraj Masjedi as he worked closely with Mohandes who was running day-to-day operations of the Shiite militias in Iraq, before he was eliminated along with Qassem Soleimani in Jan. 2020 by the United States. 3/
