Iran’s atomic energy chief, Mohammad Eslami, said on Wednesday that recent Israeli and U.S. strikes on the country’s nuclear facilities would not impede Tehran’s atomic programme, insisting “the nuclear industry cannot be destroyed by bombing.” He described the attacks as a breach of the United Nations Charter and evidence that “the law of the jungle rules the world.” Eslami’s remarks came only hours after Iran enacted legislation terminating cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, a move that further strains Tehran’s already-limited engagement with U.N. inspectors. He stressed that the nation’s nuclear technology is domestically developed, deeply rooted among the Iranian people and will advance “with strength and stability.” Iranian media carried similar statements from senior officials who acknowledged serious damage to some facilities but vowed that progress would continue. The comments underscore Tehran’s determination to maintain its nuclear trajectory despite intensifying external pressure and growing concern over regional security.
