“The Governor’s Committee resolution was mischievous,” President Pezeshkian added that Iran will continue to enrich uranium.
Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s resolve to continue its nuclear activities and said that despite the country’s increasing pressure, it would not retreat from its rights to uranium enrichment.
At the public event, Pezeshkian honored the memories of Iranian nuclear martyrs, saying, “We will continue on the path. The enrichment continues and will not retreat from the current trends.”
He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear knowledge is deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated by military action. “Even if they bomb our facilities, our capabilities are in our hearts. Whatever they destroy, we will rebuild.”
The 35th Governor General’s Committee of the United Nations Nuclear Observatory passed a resolution on Thursday declaring Iran for the first time in nearly 20 years on breach of its non-proliferation obligation, a diplomat at the closed door council meeting said.
The political resolution was proposed by the US and European troika.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesman for Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), has strongly criticized the resolution passed by the IAEA Committee, calling it a strategic miscalculation by the West.
“They mistakenly believe that political pressure can force Iran to retreat from its legitimate position,” Kamalbandi said Thursday. “We had already warned that we would adjust our actions.”
As part of Iran’s response, Kamalbandi announced the activation of the third enriched complex, along with a major upgrade of Iran’s centrifugal system.
“We’re replacing the first generation centrifuge with the sixth generation machine,” he said, adding that uranium enrichment will increase significantly in both volume and efficiency.
