AEOI Chief Lauds Remarkable Progress in Iranian Nuclear Industry

Eslami stated during a ceremony on Wednesday that the development of peaceful nuclear industry had been put on the agenda of the AEOI and there was increasing progress in the usage of nuclear-related technologies.

The nuclear chief added a gamma radiation device that was unveiled in the ceremony would help increase food safety in Iran.

“Today, in the world, the volume of trade in the radiation industry is reported to be at 500 billion dollars; in simpler words, it spans a wide range of economic, livelihood, and health sectors. Furthermore, according to our beliefs, using this device can prevent waste and refuse of agricultural material and products,” he noted.

Eslami said that the development of the nuclear industry was “a dire necessity for the people and society to increase food safety in the country”.

“The development of Iran’s nuclear industry is picking up increasing momentum,” the official added.

Back in October, Eslami blasted the Western countries’ efforts to impede Iran’s acquisition and development of new technologies.

Eslami said that there is a firm determination to prevent Tehran from gaining access to new technologies, criticizing big powers for their opposition in this regard.

“Efforts have been underway by certain countries since the 1979 Islamic Revolution to halt Iran’s technological progress, especially nuclear industry, by leveling baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic,” the official noted.

“No matter what language or school of thought you use in talks with the other sides, you can tell from their intentions and from what they write and say that they are firmly resolved to prevent us from developing advanced technologies,” the AEOI head added.

“If you be pioneer in science and technology, you will surely be among the powerful countries and this is something that the foes don’t tolerate the powerfulness of Iran,” the nuclear chief remarked.

Eslami said the opponents “constantly beat the drums of sanctions and pressure” on Iran.

He added, “Today power is not having natural reserves, rather power emanates from advanced science and technology and this a determining factor… and pioneering in these fields are a symbol of power.” 

Iran has repeatedly stressed it’s nuclear energy is purely peaceful and the reason why the United States and its allies oppose it is that they do not want Tehran develop new technologies.
