Iran Boosts Confidence with Commitment to Nuclear Program Transparency

Tehran’s nuclear activities continue to attract global attention, with officials asserting their transparency and compliance with international regulations. Mohammad Eslami, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), recently emphasized these points during a meeting in Tehran.

“Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), says that Tehran’s nuclear activities are fully transparent and remain under the complete supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Eslami made the remarks on Friday following a meeting with the members of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs in Tehran.”

In his statements, Eslami reiterated Iran’s position on nuclear weapons, declaring that:

• Iran has consistently maintained that nuclear weapons hold no place in its defense doctrine.
• The AEOI has upheld a peaceful approach despite enduring threats and political pressure.
• Criticism from adversaries framing Iran’s nuclear advancements as a threat is viewed as unprofessional and politically motivated.

Highlighting Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA, Eslami noted significant inspection efforts:

• The IAEA conducted over 450 inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2024.
• This figure represents nearly 25% of the agency’s global inspections.
• Despite Iran’s installed nuclear capacity being only 3% of the world’s total, it remains one of the most closely monitored countries by the IAEA.

The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs aim to utilize scientific expertise and rational analysis to address the severe risks posed by nuclear arms and other forms of mass destruction to humanity.

In summary, Iran’s ongoing commitment to transparency and peaceful nuclear development continues to be a focal point in international discussions surrounding nuclear non-proliferation and safety.
