The extraordinary claims were made in a paper composed by the official Iranian Resistance movement. The document asserts numerous Iranian officials have travelled to North Korea to discuss nuclear weapons. It comes after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo attacked Iran for violation of United Nations (UN) resolutions this week.

According to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) document, many Iranian officials have been in clandestine talks with Kim Jong-un’s dictatorship over nuclear weapons policy. In exchange for obtaining military, nuclear and missile equipment, the Iranian regime sends oil to North Korea, the explosive paper claims. It reads: “The Iranian regime is North Korea’s strategic ally. “Many of the regime’s current officials, including Khamenei, current President Hassan Rouhani, and Mohsen Rezai, the former Commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have all travelled to North Korea to discuss the nuclear programme.” READ MORE: Iran EXPOSED: ‘Uninspected’ secret nuclear sites REVEALED

Missile and nuclear experts from North Korea have had a consistent presence in Iran since the Iran-Iraq war, the NCRI paper states. The document, entitled ‘Iran’s Ballistic Buildup: The march towards nuclear-capable missiles’, purports to know the “exact location of the place where North Koreans stay”, contending it is: “End of Babaie Highway heading to the east, past Morvarid Hall, at Khomeini complex.” It also mentions specific individuals whom it claims are involved. According to compiled reports, IRGC delegates and commanders regularly visit North Korea, with Mohsen Fakhrizadeh allegedly present during the third nuclear test conducted by North Korea on February 12, 2013.

The document continues to implicate Fakhrizadeh, saying during his North Korea visit he stayed at Hotel Koryo - considered to be one of the most luxurious establishments in the city of Pyongyang. Of his group’s revelations, NCRI representative Hossein Abedini told Express.co.uk: “The ballistic missile programme has always been a part of the Iranian regime’s malign and destructive regional policy. “It constitutes one of the pillars of the regime to guarantee the survival of the theocratic dictatorship.” The regime change champion added: “The regime has squandered enormous sums from Iran’s wealth to invest in its missile programme during the recent years in the context of its warmongering and destabilising policies in the region. ”The NCRI identified and exposed the location of 42 IRGC centres across Iran involved in the manufacturing, testing and launching of ballistic missiles. ”These ballistic missiles are largely based on North Korean design and model.” READ MORE: World War 3: Iran threatens to CUT OFF oil to USA

The NCRI disclosures come after the UK spoke to criticise Rouhani’s Iranian regime at the UN Security Council this week along with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The UK’s UN ambassador Karen Pierce said: “Iran needs to take steps to address the concerns of this Council seriously and to recognise that its expeditionary and expansionist security doctrine will only provoke more challenges and lead to greater instability within the region.” Meanwhile, Mr Pompeo urged the UN to ban Iranian missile tests. He said: “Iran has exploited the goodwill of nations and defied multiple Security Council resolutions in its quest for a robust ballistic missile force.
