Why it matters:
As a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran has always reported its nuclear activities to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The country has adopted the nuclear industry to serve its people, including in the treatment of hard-to-cure diseases, through developing radiopharmaceuticals.
What he's saying:
Mohammad Eslami: Tetra Center, which is now on the verge of completion and operation, has the potential to play a significant role in providing services to the public and enhancing the country's scientific standing in the region.
"Iran’s nuclear technology objectives are transparent and entirely peaceful. Iran has always been a leader in science and technology, with nuclear advancements forming a vital part of its national heritage."
The big picture:
Official statistics show that over 25% of all IAEA inspections in 2024 took place in Iran, despite Iran’s nuclear industry accounting for only around 3% of global nuclear activities.
