"We have made the necessary arrangements. Whether or not the JCPOA exists,
whether or not it includes Europe, or (under) any other situation, there will be
no problem created for the nuclear technology (of Iran) or the life of people,”
President Rouhani said on Monday.
He made the comments in a ceremony in Tehran, held to mark the National Nuclear
Technology Day, after inaugurating a number of homegrown nuclear projects.
The president further reiterated that Iran will never violate the JCPOA -the
nuclear agreement with the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and
Germany)- but reminded other parties that "they would regret it” in case of any
breach of the deal and see the outcome of Iran’s readiness in less than a week.
Violators of the deal will have to pay the price for a breach, Rouhani warned.
"The JCPOA would not slow down our progress,” he underscored, saying the
agreement has promoted Iran’s nuclear cooperation with Europe, Russia and China.
Playing down his US counterpart’s threat to scrap the JCPOA, Rouhani said the
foundation of the nuclear accord is so firm that constant pressures from the US
over the past 15 months have failed to harm it.
On Monday, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) unveiled 83 homegrown
achievements in the nuclear industry, including the process of transferring the
first shipment of yellow cake (a type of uranium concentrate powder) from a
factory in the city of Ardakan to a Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) in
Isfahan.
In recent years, Iranian scientists have made remarkable progress in the field
of peaceful nuclear technology despite sanctions imposed by the West.
It is the 12th year Iran is celebrating a national day to mark its achievements
in the nuclear industry.
This year’s ceremony comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
in February reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to the JCPOA for the tenth time.
