Nournews: Mohammad Eslami, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Agency, addressing a ceremony held in Iran’s Isfahan city to commemorate the martyrs of the Al-Aqsa Operation said that “Nuclear technology has always been one of the most strategic areas in developing countries, as it not only can create economic evolution but also increase bargaining power in international relations.
He added that Iran has been able to make advancements in this area by relying on domestic knowledge and experts, despite all international pressures and sanctions, and has turned nuclear technology into one of the symbols of its authority and self-reliance.
Remarks made by Eslami show the grand strategy of Iran, and while pointing out the strategic value of obtaining modern knowledge and technology for producing power in different economic, political, and social aspects, they explain the path taken so far by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its overcoming of external obstacles in the field of obtaining advanced technologies.
The different aspects and categories of Eslami's remarks are explained as follows:
Nuclear technology: Boundless and strategic
Attempts to limit Iran’s access to peaceful nuclear technology by the domination system are not only rooted in security and geopolitical policies but also indicate discriminatory views of Iran’s right to development. The head of the IAEO emphasized that Iran has been successful despite all pressures and has managed the path to developing nuclear technologies non-stop. Producing heavy water and relevant products, including nuclear methanol with added value, is an example of these developments that can have direct effects on economic growth and non-oil exports.
International challenges and the promise of self-reliance
According to the head of the IAEO, the functionality of international organizations, including the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the Security Council, regarding nuclear issues, is one of the main problems. History shows that these organizations are generally under the influence of big powers, and with regard to Iran’s dossier, instead of supporting Iran’s legitimate right to utilize peaceful nuclear energy, they have been turned into instruments of increased pressure on Iran.
Resisting domination: A pattern for developing countries
Iran, as one of the few developing countries that has been able to achieve advanced nuclear technology, serves as a model for other countries in resisting domination policies. The head of the IAEO’s emphasis on the role of young experts and domestic efforts highlights the importance of human capital in resisting challenges and achieving national goals. Iran’s significant scientific and technological growth in different arenas, particularly the nuclear industry, has been achieved while big powers and the owners of technology have been constantly trying to deprive it of accessing the world’s latest technologies through the imposition of tough sanctions.
Future path
Given the current condition, safeguarding and developing peaceful nuclear technology in Iran is a strategic necessity that has both economic and political importance. The production of advanced products such as nuclear methanol, heavy water, and radio-medicines can serve as a tool for boosting Iran’s status in the international equation, while it also helps reduce dependency on imports.
Iran’s future path in the field of nuclear technology is based on resistance and defending its legal rights as well as using domestic potentials and knowledge. The interaction between Iran and the IAEA, as an entity that observes the nuclear activities of countries, has always been based on an emphasis on Iran’s legitimate right to utilize peaceful nuclear energy, without accepting unjust pressures. Iran, through reliance on its domestic capabilities, has shown that its nuclear technology cannot be limited; instead, it can become a driving force for sustainable development and national sovereignty.
