Tehran confirms continuation of nuclear program activities

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mohammad Eslami, affirmed on Sunday that Tehran will never halt the activities of its nuclear program. In a speech broadcast by Iranian television, Eslami criticized Western countries for obstructing Iran's access to nuclear technology. He added that while Western nations plan to increase the capacities of their nuclear plants by three or fourfold based on international resolutions and internal guidelines, they utilize sanctions, assassinations, and attacks to hinder Iran's access to this technology.
