MEK says Iran is secretly enriching uranium

Alireza Jafarzadeh, an Iranian exile who has reported accurately in the past about hidden atomic facilities in Iran now says Iran is secretly purifying uranium for use in nuclear weapons at a recently-constructed underground facility at a military complex called Parchin.

"Iran has completed an underground tunnel-like facility in Parchin, which is now engaged in laser enrichment," said Alireza Jafarzadeh, an Iranian exile who has reported accurately in the past about hidden atomic facilities in Iran.

"This underground site is camouflaged and built in an area of Parchin that deals with the chemical industry," he told Reuters by telephone on Thursday from Washington, citing "well-placed sources inside the Iranian regime."
