News - Middle East: Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami says Tehran chooses its own path based on national goals and interests and will never allow anybody to dictate to it. 

“We move on according to our goals and national interests,” Eslami said on Saturday.

He added that identity and values define the Islamic Republic’s path, emphasizing, “Therefore, every step taken [by Iran] is based on our national goals and interests."

Iran’s nuclear chief emphasized that one of the most important achievements of the Islamic Revolution is that the country is charting its own path and making decisions based on national interests.

Eslami noted that Iran is currently in a good position in the fields of industrial science and technology, on par with developed countries that have invested millions of dollars.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday called it “utterly wrong” for the United States to insist on Iran’s completely stopping its peaceful uranium enrichment activities.

“No one is waiting for permission from anyone. The Islamic Republic has its own policies, its own methods, and it pursues its own agenda,” the Leader said.
