So what? most of the elite American scientists are in New York, California or Massachusetts. Why? Because many of the reputable US universities are in those states.
You're exaggerating the MEK presence in Tehran. the MEK is a desperate group with almost no support, the number of MEK supporters around the globe and in Iran doesn't exceed 500K if you ask me. Do not overestimate them.
Tehran is the only Iranian city with proper air defense. every inch of Tehran is covered by anti aircraft systems.The Iranian intelligence agency is doing its job fine. I don't blame them for that. they have foiled many US and Israeli sponsored plots. In fact they are the best in the region, they are just a head and shoulder above all other intelligence agencies in the ME. We're facing the world's strongest intelligence agencies, these things happen, and sometimes you just can't do much about them.
It is upto you. But you are comparing yourself with US? Are you serious? The country that spends more on its military and intel agencies than the rest of the world combined. Also US does not have the same problem as Iran. If I have to compare a similar situation, I would take Chinese and Russian model of doing things. They had built special purpose cities for their science and military projects in order to keep them secret and safe. Doing a scientific project of immense significance in Tehran neither can be kept secret nor it can be safe. As for United States, you should also know that only non-military research goes in major cities and all military and important research in US is done in designated science cities which are super secret for example, have you heard about this site and there are many more as well: Mercury, Nevada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
