Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mohammad Eslami, stated during televised remarks on Sunday that authorities in Tehran will never suspend activities related to their nuclear program under any circumstances. Eslami directed sharp criticism at Western parties, accusing
them of obstructing his country's efforts to acquire nuclear technology. He pointed out that at a time when Western nations seek to multiply the capacities of their nuclear plants based on their policies, they rely on sanctions, assassinations, and attacks
to prevent Iran from reaching those technologies.
