Baku, Azerbaijan, July 28

By Ilgar Emil – Trend:

On July 28th Iranian Customs Administration’s official website reported that the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) would manufacture five X-ray scanners for the container vehicle inspections.

Earlier, Iranian Customs Administration had signed a deal for manufacturing the X-ray scanners with the country’s Defence Ministry. It had also announced the issuance of two international tenders, in November 2016 and May 2017‎ respectively, for the purchase of 16 sets of mobile X-Ray Inspection Systems dedicated to truck and container inspections.

The Custom’s report stressed out that Iranian scientists have the ability to manufacture X-ray scanners; moreover, signed deal with AEOI is in reality an addition step in the direction of the support of the domestic producer.

Signed deal with AEOI came a day after the passed bill by US Senate imposing sanctions on Iran. Islamic Republic also tested a satellite carrier on July 27, which was greeted with criticism from Washington.

The US State Department called Iran’s launch of a space satellite a “provocative action” that violates UN resolution on the ballistic missiles as well as the spirit of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the six world powers.
