Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi visited an exhibition of the latest achievements of the nuclear industry held at the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency and met with a group of senior executives of the agency.
“The nuclear industry is now a very large-scale industry and is rapidly progressing in various fields. Contrary to the idea that this industry is limited to uranium enrichment, it must be said that a series of projects and activities that are effective in various areas of people’s lives, such as the fields of medicine, health, environment, agriculture and industry, are being carried out and pursued by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and the country’s nuclear industry,” Araghchi told visiting reporters.
“Nuclear technology exists in all fields and fields, contributing to the development of various fields, and its knowledge and technology have accelerated science in our country. This technology is also of great help in various industries and in various fields of people’s lives,” he emphasized.
The Foreign Minister also said, “People feel proud when they see scientists and experts working and serving in these centers. I would like to thank AEOI Chief Engineer Mr. Eslami and all the staff of this organization.”
He added that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has close ties with AEOI. “At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we support AEOI and will always defend the rights of the Iranian people and this organization, because we believe that the rights (of the Iranian people) must be protected and enforced.”
Araghchi went on to say that despite Western claims that Iran’s nuclear program has military objectives, it is a completely peaceful program.
He said the West was trying to seize Iran’s nuclear industry to maintain its monopoly.
“They know that we have been communicating, negotiating and talking for over 20 years, and if we had a program to build nuclear weapons, we should have done it at this time because this country has the capability. But on the other hand… “We have always tried to demonstrate that our nuclear program is peaceful, and we have always built trust and cooperated with international organizations and the International Atomic Energy Agency when necessary, but it is clear that they are making excuses.” elsewhere.
