"The Board of Governors' resolution was mischievous," President Pezeshkian said, adding that Iran will continue uranium enrichment.
Pezeshkian reaffirmed Iran’s determination to continue its nuclear activities, saying the country will not retreat from its right to uranium enrichment despite mounting pressures.
Speaking at a public event, Pezeshkian honored the memory of Iran’s nuclear martyrs and stated, “We will continue our path. Enrichment will go on, and we will not back down from the current trend.”
He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear knowledge is deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated by military action. “Even if they bomb our facilities, our capabilities lie in our minds. Whatever they destroy, we will rebuild.”
The U.N. nuclear watchdog's 35-nation Board of Governors passed a resolution on Thursday declaring Iran in alleged breach of its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in almost 20 years, diplomats at the closed-door meeting said.
The political resolution was proposed by the United States and the European troika.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), strongly criticized the resolution passed by the IAEA Board of Governors, calling it a strategic miscalculation by the West.
“They wrongly believe political pressure can force Iran to retreat from its rightful positions,” Kamalvandi said on Thursday. “We had already warned that we would adjust our actions accordingly.”
As part of Iran’s response, Kamalvandi announced the activation of a third enrichment complex, along with a major upgrade of Iran’s centrifuge systems.
“We will replace our first-generation centrifuges with sixth-generation machines,” he said, adding that uranium enrichment will rise significantly in both volume and efficiency.
