News - Middle East: The U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities were a blow to the UN Charter, demonstrating that the law of the jungle prevails in this world, said the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization.

“The attacks were a blow to the United Nations Charter, meaning it showed that the law of the jungle prevails in this world, and if you don't have power and aren't powerful, you cannot continue your existence. The Iranian nation understood this well and stood by it,” stated Mohammad Eslami.

The official further emphasized that bombing cannot destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, asserting that the country’s atomic progress would continue unhindered.

"The nuclear industry is not something that can be destroyed by bombing; it is an indigenous industry; it is indigenous technology and it is in the soul of the people and the soul of this land and water, and its path of progress will continue to be smooth and strong," he concluded.

Iran’s nuclear facilities were attacked by the Israeli regime as well as the US during the 12-day aggression against the country last month.

Tel Aviv and Washington claimed their attacks destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites.

However, Iran maintains that its nuclear capabilities, built on homegrown expertise, are impervious to such aggression.
