ISLAMABAD: Iranian leaders have firmly declared that the country will not abandon its nuclear technology, despite recent airstrikes allegedly carried out by the United States and Israel.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi addressed local media on Tuesday, stating that Iran’s nuclear capabilities are non-negotiable.
He emphasized that the program is the result of decades of scientific effort and national sacrifice.
“We have worked extremely hard to acquire nuclear technology,” said Araghchi.
“Our scientists have made great sacrifices, and the Iranian people have endured many hardships.
We will not give it up under any circumstances.”
Iran Labels Nuclear Program Peaceful and Vital
The airstrikes reportedly targeted Iran’s facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—sites still monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
President Donald Trump claimed the attacks aimed to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
In response, Atomic Energy Organization of Iran spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi stated that the infrastructure is well-established and resilient.
He stressed that Iran’s nuclear development is peaceful and central to its scientific progress.
“This industry is rooted in the Iranian nation and cannot be destroyed by force,” Kamalvandi said.
He added that advancing nuclear science is not optional for Iran—it is necessary.
Restoration Work Underway at Damaged Sites
Iran’s nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami confirmed that technical teams are assessing and repairing affected nuclear facilities.
He said efforts are focused on maintaining uninterrupted research and energy production.
“Our goal is to avoid disruption in nuclear services,” Eslami told Mehr News Agency.
“Restoration efforts are already in progress.”
Despite global pressure and military action, Iranian leadership remains united in defending the future of its nuclear program.
