Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), says Tehran’s nuclear activity is completely transparent and will remain fully supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Eslami made a statement on Friday following a meeting with members of the Pugwash Conference on Tehran’s science and world affairs.
He said Iran repeatedly declared that nuclear weapons had no place in its defense doctrine.
The AEOI chief said Tehran supported its peaceful approach despite years of threats and political pressure.
Eslami criticized the efforts by the enemy to frame Iran’s nuclear advances as a threat, describing such claims as unprofessional and politically motivated.
According to Eslami, the IAEA conducted over 450 tests of Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2024, accounting for almost 25% of the agency’s global testing.
He said that although the nuclear capabilities installed in Iran are made up of only 3% of the world’s total, the country is one of the most closely monitored by institutions.
Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs aims to leverage scientific expertise and rational analysis to tackle the immense risks that nuclear weapons and other mass destruction pose to humanity.
