The Head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami unveiled that the country’s civilian nuclear program has been the target of industrial sabotage by the Israeli and the U.S. intelligent agencies for the last three decades.
The official made the remarks on Thursday in the central city of Isfahan where he inaugurated the country’s largest plasma therapy clinic.
“Years ago my colleagues had purchased packaged parts from a European company, but on the way to Iran, without anyone noticing, the U.S. and Israeli security services had opened them and carried out micro-sabotage on them,” which was tracked at destination, he said.
He also slammed remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nejanyahu claiming that Iranians are after reviving the Persian Empire and Isreal will not allow it to happen.
Tel Aviv’s main cause of concern for confrontation with Tehran is the acquisition of superior sciences and technologies, he added.
Eslami stressed that despite the continued attacks and acts of sabotage, Iran’s nuclear program is at the forefront of advanced medical treatments with radiopharmaceuticals and plasma therapy.
He termed as a defeat the 12-day war last June during which U.S. joined Israel’s military aggression and bombed Iran’s major nuclear sites under UN safeguards.
“Although U.S. dropped the world's largest and, in their opinion, most efficient bombs on Iran's facilities, hoping to destroy this industry, by God's grace, Iran continues to move on the frontiers of knowledge.”
Meantime, Minister of Information and Communications Technology Sattar Hashemi said that Iran successfully repelled a major cyberattack last Sunday coinciding the day it launched three remote-sensing satellites.
According to Hashemi, the attack, which targeted one of the country’s operators, was repelled in two stages: The first stage was carried out abroad, and the second stage was inside the country, using local capacities and domestic production.
He pointed out that the cyberattack against Iran’s communication infrastructure occurred simultaneously with the launch of three remote-sensing satellites last Sunday. But he did not disclose where it was originated.
