Iran Press/ America: Jake Sullivan and Benny Gantz, who is the incumbent Israeli War Minister, met on August 26 at the White House to continue consultations on security issues of mutual concern, the White House said in a press release.
The two sides discussed US commitment to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon and the need to counter allegedly threats from Iran and the so-called Iran-based proxies, the White House said.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, a progressive country among the developing countries, due to different reasons such as the need for energy development plans, acquiring advanced technology, creating diversity for supplying safe energy, production of clean energy, environmental consideration, and economic-technical advantages, has considered the development of nuclear power plant and developing the application of peaceful nuclear technology as a necessity and requirement for the long term energy provision programs.
The country’s legal requirements (laws passed) have also required the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to deploy the operation of nuclear power plants for realizing the long-term objective of producing 20000 Megawatt of electricity in the years to come.
