Iran Asserts Sovereignty, Rejects External Influence: Nuclear Chief Affirms Determined Independence
The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mohammad Eslami, asserted that Tehran will chart its own course grounded in national objectives and interests, firmly stating that it will not permit external influences to dictate its actions.

Eslami stated on Saturday that progress is determined by the country’s objectives and national interests.
He asserted that the identity and values of the Islamic Republic chart its course, highlighting that every move made by Iran aligns with its national objectives and interests.
Iran’s nuclear chief highlighted that a key accomplishment of the Islamic Revolution is the nation’s ability to independently pursue its own course and make decisions grounded in national interests.
Eslami highlighted that Iran is presently positioned favorably in the realms of industrial science and technology, standing alongside developed nations that have invested substantial financial resources.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, stated on Tuesday that it is “utterly wrong” for the United States to demand that Iran completely halt its peaceful uranium enrichment activities.
The Leader emphasized that the Islamic Republic operates independently, stating, “No one is waiting for permission from anyone. The nation has its own policies, its own methods, and it follows its own agenda.”
