In response to recent remarks by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, who says only countries with nuclear weapons are wrong, said that countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, South Korea, Japan, Argentina and Germany do not own nuclear weapons, but they enrich uranium.
Back on May 6, Behrouz Kamalvandi, deputy chief of Iran’s (AEOI) atomic energy organization, once again highlighted Iran’s right to own a peaceful nuclear program, including the right to enrich uranium.
Kamalvandi said he has the right to peaceful nuclear technology.
He pointed out that the Western countries had incompletely abandoned their work after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
“We can’t rely solely on fossil fuels for energy,” said Vice Chair AEOI.
“The US Secretary of State was wrong because countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, South Korea, Brazil and Japan are also enriching without nuclear weapons,” he continued to clearly point to Marco Rubio’s recent remarks that he said were not supposed to have nuclear enrichment and could import abundant uranium from overseas.
