Tehran, Oct 13 (V7N)- Iran will not back down from its nuclear program under foreign pressure, Mohammad Eslami, head of the country's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), has said.
He made the remarks at an international conference in Tehran on Sunday (October 11), according to Iran's state news agency IRNA.
Eslami said no foreign power had the right to deprive Iran of access to nuclear technology.
He accused Washington of seeking to expand its own nuclear capabilities while attempting to prevent Iran from using the same technology.
Despite pressure and the ongoing threat of war, Eslami said Tehran remained committed to its plans to generate 20,000 megawatts of nuclear power.
His remarks underscore Iran's continued insistence on pursuing its nuclear technology ambitions despite international pressure.
