Enemies failed to hinder Iran’s nuclear progress through sanctions: Nuclear chief
The enemies have failed to hinder the progress of Iran’s peaceful nuclear energy program through illegal sanctions, says the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI).
Mohammad Eslami made the remarks on Wednesday during a ceremony at Mobarakeh Steel Company in Isfahan Province, where two home-grown technologies were unveiled.
He said that the AEOI’s “self-confidence” led it to take the path of progress and render problems such as sanctions and terror ineffective.
“The AEOI has a strategic task to build power for the country. Of course, the enemies tried to prevent Iran’s progress through sanctions, but they failed,” he added.
Eslami also said the AEOI plans to generate 20,000 kilowatts of nuclear power by 2041.
The Islamic Republic, he emphasized, pursues a completely peaceful nuclear goal based on international regulations and the principles of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Eslmai further said that his agency has managed to produce precise tools that are being used in 150 steel companies and industries, noting that the country has become capable of exporting these tools.
Over the past years, Iran has recorded many nuclear achievements in defiance of US sanctions as well as hurdles created by the West.
Iran has been closely cooperating with the IAEA as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The Islamic Republic showed to the world the peaceful nature of its nuclear program by signing the 2015 nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with world powers.
