The AEOI chief has reminded enemies that Iran’s homegrown civilian nuclear industry cannot be obliterated through bombardment.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in his dismissal of a US plan for Iran to abandon uranium enrichment, asserted Wednesday that the nuclear industry is not just for energy production.

Many oil refineries today use up to 70 percent of sophisticated nuclear devices, which indicates the inexorable importance of nuclear technology to petroleum-producing countries such as Iran.

The IAEA chief has visited Iran’s achievements in the nuclear industry during an exhibition in Vienna.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says the country ranks among the top five in the nuclear industry.

Iran's nuclear chief says Tehran is ready to cooperate with Turkey on the export of radiopharmaceuticals and the training of nuclear specialists.

"In line with serving national interests, the administration regards itself as duty-bound to support the nuclear industry."
