AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has called on Iranian officials to pave the way for faster advances in new technologies, saying nuclear technology is the “driving force” behind the country’s development.
Mohammad Eslami made the remarks on Tuesday while paying a visit to the family of prominent nuclear scientist Dr. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who was assassinated near Tehran on November 27, 2020, in a terrorist attack widely attributed to Israel.
He said hegemonic powers cannot stand Iran’s power and spare no effort to hinder the country’s progress.
“Our officials should take heed of paving the way for the development of science and knowledge, especially new technologies, without fear and with confidence. Whenever we decided to enter a field and get involved in it, we emerged victorious and proud,” Eslami said.
He said a source of power is development in new technologies, in which, he continued, Iranian scientists have reached significant achievements, including Iran’s recognition as a nuclear energy power in the world.
“From the point of view of the global arrogance (hegemonic powers), the presence of the Islamic Iran among powerful countries is considered forbidden,” he said.
The chief Iranian nuclear official further said that thriving in new technologies, for the sake of creating wealth and power, would free Iran of the domination of hegemonic powers. “This is not something they want,” he added.
“The important point is that today, nuclear technology is the driving force behind the country’s development, and the impact of this technology on other industries and different aspects of people’s lives will be manifested soon, God willing,” Eslami said.
He explained that Iran’s nuclear industry aims to produce electricity and improve the health, agriculture, food, and environment sectors.
“Our scientists’ advances in the rapid movement toward new technologies should not stop. Our scientists proved that they will conquer the peaks of scientific progress, which was unimaginable for the world, without relying on others,” he added.
