The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says the country’s nuclear facilities remain secure and fully operational, as international scrutiny intensifies following recent Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.
Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said staff morale at nuclear sites is high and personnel remain firmly in place despite recent tensions.
“The Iranian people have never yielded to pressure or coercion. Our colleagues at the nuclear facilities are performing their duties with determination and strength,” Eslami stated. “Our nation is built on pride and power. The enemy should understand that this path will lead them nowhere—just as it always has.”
He emphasized that the situation at Iran’s nuclear facilities remains stable, and staff are working without disruption.
Meanwhile, Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reiterated in an interview with CNN that the agency has found no evidence of an organized Iranian effort to build nuclear weapons.
Grossi’s comments come five days after Israeli military strikes targeted Iranian territory, which Tel Aviv claimed were aimed at dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
“There is certainly no indication that Iran is on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon,” Grossi said. “It’s not a matter of tomorrow, but it might not be a matter of years either. Still, this remains speculation, and I emphasize—we simply don’t know.”
