Iran’s nuclear achievements gained under threats, sanctions: Official
The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) highlighted Iran’s remarkable progress in the nuclear industry, saying the achievements in the high-tech field have been gained under the threats and sanctions by the enemies.
Mohammad Eslami made the statement before the launch of an exhibition showcasing Iran’s latest achievements in the nuclear industry in Tehran on Sunday, Press TV wrote.
“Achieving complex nuclear technologies in such difficult conditions has not been easy whatsoever, but our country’s young scientists achieved them without using foreign capacities,” the official noted. Pointing to the AEOI’s goal of manifesting the effects of nuclear energy in society and people’s lives, Eslami said, “Iran’s achievements in the fields of health, medicine, food security and agriculture, industry, water and soil, and environment have been introduced in the exhibition.”
Iran showed to the world the peaceful nature of its nuclear program by signing the 2015 nuclear agreement with six world states, but Washington’s unilateral withdrawal in May 2018 and its subsequent re-imposition of sanctions against Tehran left the future of the deal in limbo.
