Iran’s Nuclear Industry Cannot Be Dismantled by Force: AEOI
The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Behrouz Kamalvandi, has reiterated that Iran’s nuclear program is strictly for peaceful purposes and will continue to develop despite all forms of coercion.
Speaking on Tuesday, Kamalvandi asserted that Iran’s nuclear industry is a deeply integrated part of the country’s scientific and technological infrastructure and cannot be destroyed by hostile forces.
“They must understand that this industry has taken root within our nation. It cannot simply be uprooted,” Kamalvandi emphasized.
He further added, “Given the capabilities and potential we possess, the advancement of this industry is essential. It cannot be stopped.”
These remarks came in response to recent unauthorized strikes by the United States on three Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—all of which are under full supervision by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Following the attack, US President Donald Trump stated that the goal was to “destroy” Iran’s nuclear program. In reaction, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi underscored that Iran’s nuclear energy program is based on indigenous knowledge and “cannot be eliminated through bombing.”
