BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 6. Iran's nuclear program will not undergo any changes due to a change of government in any country or for any other reason, Iran's Vice President and Chairman of the Atomic Energy Organization Mohammad Eslami told reporters following a Cabinet meeting in Tehran on November 6, Trend reports.
He claimed that Iran is keeping its eye on the prize with its nuclear program and is making strides to hit the bullseye on its strategic objectives.
Eslami remarked that even with all the heat on Iran, the nation's nuclear program is moving forward.
The Iranian vice president stated that three irradiation centers have hit the ground running in the country this year. The agricultural processing plant and irradiation centers are just around the corner from going live in Ardabil, Khuzestan, and Kerman Provinces.
To recall, back in January 2016, Iran and the P5+1 group (the US, Russia, China, the UK, France, and Germany) rolled up their sleeves and put the Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action into action regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
However, in May 2018, the US pulled the plug on the deal and slapped sanctions back on Iran.
By the end of 2020, the Iranian parliament decided to put their ducks in a row with a strategic plan in the nuclear sector to counter the sanctions, leading to a halt in any further steps and the Additional Protocol as per the nuclear agreement, which caused the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to take a hit, resulting in a 20–30 percent cut in their monitoring capabilities.
