Iran (IMNA) - In a speech at Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran on Tuesday, Mohammad Eslami praised the nation's accomplishments and ongoing advancements in nuclear technology.
Eslami stated, "We have a high standing in nuclear capability; this high-level position has been reached by our efforts and is not borrowed or imported. We have attained this position through research and with earnest efforts of all those who have been there from the very beginning.
Eslami emphasized that the AEOI has made the decision to end the surrounding Iran's nuclear program. He denounced "the unfounded allegations" and the "propaganda campaign" intended to restrict Iran's nuclear work, which he claimed have caused skepticism in some quarters about the costs and benefits of nuclear technology for the nation.
However, he stated that efforts have been made to understand the effects of nuclear technology on people's lives.
Eslami pointed to the formulation of a strategic plan with a 20-year outlook and a program-oriented movement in the country's nuclear technology, saying that by implementing this plan, the government hopes to improve its capacity in both research and industrial fields.
Iran's nuclear leader further emphasized the importance of "industrialization" in nuclear technology as a unique and critical area that may provide the country with a competitive advantage and expedite the country's technical development.
Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are now at odds over the IAEA's Israeli-influenced claims against Tehran's peaceful nuclear activity and the 2015 nuclear accord known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The IAEA persists on investigating "uranium traces" discovered at "undeclared nuclear sites" in Iran.
The issue has emerged as a major sticking point in discussions to save the JCPOA. Iran has denounced the investigation as "politically motivated."
