Iran's nuclear industry deeply rooted, poised to rebloom: AEOI

The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has reiterated that Iran's nuclear industry has its roots in the country, making it resilient to attacks and external pressure.

Behrouz Kamalvandi made the remarks during an interview released on Thursday, addressing the 12-day imposed war and the US-Israeli aggression against Iran's nuclear facilities.

"What is rooted will not be harmed by attack and pressure," he said.

On June 22, coinciding with the tenth day of the imposed war against Iran, the US military, in support of Israel, bombed the nuclear facilities of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan all of which operate under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

US President Donald Trump said the aim of the attack was to "destroy" the county's enrichment capability and halting its peaceful nuclear program.

The senior Iranian atomic agency official underscored that "this industry will flourish again."

Kamalvandi had previously reiterated this position in the wake of the unlawful American aggression against Iran's nuclear sites in June, emphasizing that Iran's nuclear industry is deeply entrenched in the country's scientific and technological infrastructure.

"They must understand that this industry is rooted in our nation. They cannot uproot it," he said. "Given the capabilities and potential we possess, the growth of this industry must continue. It will not be stopped."

The US aggression was condemned by many countries and international institutions as a clear violation of Iran's national sovereignty and a violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

In response to the US-Israeli aggression- which occurred following the politically-motivated report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi and the subsequent adoption of an anti-Iran resolution by the Board of Governors - the Iranian parliament swiftly approved legislation to suspend the country's cooperation with the IAEA.
