Tehran (ISNA) - The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami referred to the malice and conspiracies of enemies against Iran's nuclear energy, stressing that despite all the enmities, Iran's nuclear energy has assumed a leading global status.
He also emphasized that Iran is among the world's top producers of radiopharmaceuticals, heavy water, and semiconductors.
Noting that the purpose of propaganda, sanctions and maximum pressure of enemies is to stop the progress of Iran in field of nuclear technology, Eslami said, "We use nuclear technology in industries such as refineries, petrochemicals, cement, steel, food, and cellulose, and if we did not have nuclear technology in the country, we could not withstand the unjust sanctions".
Meanwhile, the deputy head of AEOI, Amir Hossein Feghhi said in an interview with ISNA, nuclear knowledge is a valuable science that should not be disregarded under any circumstances.
He emphasized that industrialized and developed countries could not have reached their current position without crossing the boundaries of nuclear knowledge.
Feghhi also argued that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) no longer has any benefits or effectiveness, especially for the United States and Europe, and therefore, another issue such as common economic interests should be negotiated.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he announced that the AEOI in field of nuclear research laboratories enjoyed an exceptional status in West Asia.
Noting that the level of Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has increased, he called for more engagement and cooperation with the IAEA to introduce Iran's achievements to the world.
