		+	Jafarzadeh continues his call for the US to remove the [[MEK]] from its terror list and openly support it when declared that this should be the Obama Administration's policy in March 2010. In this way Jafarzadeh's claims are similar to those of well-known neoconservative academic and commentator, [[Michael Ledeen]].

		+	:It is further reassuring that the opposition movement People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) seeks a nuclear-free Iran. This group has repeatedly exposed Tehran's nuclear weapons secrets at great risk to its network in Iran. The group has "a pretty good record," according to Frank Pabian, Senior Nonproliferation Infrastructure Analyst at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. "They're right 90 percent of the time," he told the New York Times in January.

		+	:In this framework, the triumph of groups opposed to the regime is a much surer way to defuse the nuclear threat and end the Tehran-sponsored bloodshed in Iraq and the region. Indeed, it should be President Obama's Iran policy linchpin.<ref>Alireza Jafarzadeh, [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alireza-jafarzadeh/how-to-stop-irans-nuclear_b_481180.html "How to Stop Iran's Nuclear Threat"], ''Huffington Post,'' 1 March 2010</ref>

 The US-Israeli campaign for regime change in Iran kicked off with a press conference on August 14, 2002 by Jafarzadeh where he revealed information on the nuclear facility in [[Natanz]], and a [[Heavy water|dideuterium oxide]] facility in [[Arak, Iran|Arak]]. While it is hardly a secret that the information originated with the Israeli intelligence, on March 16 In reference to Jafarzadeh’s  press conference, US President Bush said Iran's hidden nuclear program had been discovered "because a dissident group pointed it out to the world."  Later that day, White House aides acknowledged that the dissident group cited by the president is the [[National Council of Resistance of Iran]] (NCRI), the political wing of the MeK.<ref name="ref11"> , Mark Hosenball, [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7369510/site/newsweek/ Iran: Mixed Signals on MEK], ''Newsweek'', 11 April 2005</ref> These revelations led to inspections of the sites by the [[International Atomic Energy Agency]] (IAEA). These revelations eventually led to United Nations Security Council’s imposing sanctions on Iran on December 23rd, 2006, over its nuclear program.<ref name="ref14">{{Cite |title= Security Council approves sanctions on Iran over nuclear program |date=2006-12-23|publisher=USA Today |year=2006 |author=}}</ref>
