IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, July 17, IRNA -- Head of Iran Atomic Energy Organization Ali Akbar Salehi said on Sunday the adversaries had brought unfounded accusations about Iranian nuclear program, so that closure of the nuclear case was a miracle.

He made the remarks in the introduction ceremony of his new deputies.

Salehi referred to the anniversary of nuclear deal known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), saying that few persons believed that the stand-off will be the matter of the past.

Of course, friends and dears took concerted efforts in this respect and God gives nothing to anybody for free, he said.

Referring to Iraq-imposed war 1980-1988 and the sanctions imposed on Iran over the the past decades, Salehi said, 'We have many problems, but, we enjoy other divine blessings such as security, we should be thankful'.

Salehi said that the UN has announced several days ago that Iran has also taken major steps in the field of health services.

He further noted that Iran has achieved eight indices out of 15 set to be materialized until 2020 and this was achieved despite obstacles and political immoralities.

Referring to warm welcome accorded to the Iranian delegation by the officials in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) France, Salehi opined that ITER and Fusion are the most Important projects of the organization.

'True that they will bear fruit after 40 years, but if this generation does not undertake them, we will never be forgiven,' he said.

During the ceremony, Mohammad Qannadi-Maragheh was appointed as deputy head of the organization and Behrouz Kamalvandi as deputy for international, legal and parliamentary affairs.
