NCRI-US to Reveal New Details on Iran’s Nuclear Sites – Washington, DC – May 8, 2025

Washington, DC – May 8, 2025 – At a significant press conference held today at the National Press Club, the U.S. Representative Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI-US) disclosed newly obtained intelligence revealing a covert Iranian nuclear weapons facility. The findings point to an ongoing parallel program aimed at developing boosted nuclear warheads and laying the technological foundation for hydrogen bombs.

Soona Samsami, U.S. Representative of the NCRI, reported that the Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND)—a unit under the control of Iran’s Ministry of Defense and the IRGC—has been actively engaged in tritium extraction to increase the explosive power of nuclear weapons. Central to this operation is the secretive “Rainbow Site” (Rangin Kaman), situated near Eyvanaki, approximately 55 kilometers southeast of Tehran. The facility, which spans 2,500 acres, operates under the guise of the Diba Energy Sina Company, registered as a chemical production enterprise.

“This project is not peaceful. It’s designed for nuclear warheads to be mounted on missiles with ranges over 3,000 kilometers,” Samsami emphasized. “The world must shut down Iran’s nuclear sites, deny enrichment capability, and task the IAEA with verifying closure.” She underscored that the regime’s nuclear pursuits are tightly linked to its strategy for survival amid internal instability, referencing over 1,200 executions since President Pezeshkian assumed office.

Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of NCRI-US, explained that the intelligence originated from the internal network of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI)—the same source that revealed the Natanz facility in 2002. “This information comes after years of investigation, verification, and analysis,” he said. SPND, initially exposed by NCRI in 2011, has since 2013 covertly recruited experts in nuclear fusion and tritium from Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, including Dr. Ebrahim Haji Ebrahimi and Hadi Zaker Khatir, while simultaneously suppressing academic publications related to fusion research.

Jafarzadeh described the organizational framework, which includes a parent front company—Petsar (Pishtazan-e Towsee-ye San’ati-ye Arya Razi)—and four subsidiary companies that provide logistical support and cover operations. The facility itself, initially constructed under the direction of assassinated nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, houses underground infrastructure protected by IRGC missile units and the Qadir long-range radar system.

“The regime presented the site to locals as a paint or missile factory, but its military-grade security—fencing, surveillance cameras, and restricted zones—clearly indicates its true purpose,” Jafarzadeh stated. “Iran’s nuclear weapons program has never stopped; it has simply evolved under deeper secrecy.”

The NCRI renewed its call for the activation of the UN snapback mechanism and for international recognition of the Iranian people’s right to oppose the IRGC.
