Iran: The Untold Story is a 10-week sponsored miniseries that examines some of the under-reported challenges in the U.S.- Iran relationship and whether regime change in Tehran is possible without military intervention. The series, brought to you by the Organization of Iranian-American Communities, offers expert analysis from the front lines of the war on terror, the fight against nuclear proliferation and the effort to investigate and prevent human rights abuses inside Iran.

Iran's terrorism continues: How Western authorities thwarted multiple plots in the last year

Several important pieces of intelligence that alerted the West to Iran's illegal nuclear weapons program have come over the years from Iranian opposition groups, like the National Council for the Resistance in Iran which famously uncovered work sites in 2002.

While most Americans believe the Obama era nuclear deal put Iran's nuclear weapon ambitions on hold, a top nuclear arms expert says in this edition of Iran: The Untold Story that Tehran even today has kept its ability to revive quickly its weapons program.

Dr. Olli Heinonen former deputy director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says Iran clearly had an aggressive nuclear weapons program a decade ago and retained the capability to weaponize their current civilian nuclear program "in a short period of time."

Watch Dr. Olli Heinonen discuss his concerns and the recent release or an archive of Iranian nuclear program documents in Israel.

After a three-year-long transfer process, some 3,000 MEK members are safely housed in special accommodation in Tirana, provided by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. This greatly angered the Iranian Regime, who had spent years trying to assassinate the MEK in Iran and in Iraq, where they were supposed to be protected.
