Nuclear Facilities of Iran in Good Condition
Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami said the country’s nuclear facilities are in a good state.
- Tasnim News Agency ^18/06/25^
Asked about the state of Iran’s nuclear activities after the Israeli regime’s aggression, Eslami told IRIB on Wednesday that the nuclear facilities are in good condition.
Lauding the high morale of the AEOI staffers, the nuclear chief said they are stationed in their strongholds and doing their duties steadfastly.
Pride and might are deeply embedded in the Iranian people, as they have never given in to force or surrendered, Eslami underlined.
The senior nuclear official made it clear for the enemy that it will get nowhere through military aggression against Iran.
The Zionist regime launched a war of aggression against Iran in the early hours of June 13, hitting military and nuclear sites as well as residential areas.
The strikes have resulted in the martyrdom of dozens of military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians and caused damages to the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran’s central province of Isfahan.

The Iranian nation will strongly fight the imposed war in the same way that it will stand against an imposed peace, the Leader stated, emphasizing that Ian will not surrender to anything imposed by anybody.
Dismissing the threatening comments by the US president, Ayatollah Khamenei said the wise individuals that are familiar with the Iranian nation and history would never talk to Iran with the language of threat, because it is impossible for the Iranian nation to surrender.
The Americans must bear in mind that any military engagement against Iran will undoubtedly inflict irreparable damages on them, the Leader warned.

'China almost never interfere in the affairs of countries that doesn't share a border with it in its 5000 year history' this can be applied to any country or civilization ever. international affairs didn't really exist back. i don't think they were criticising dengism or anything
sorry, but that first sentence took me out if it. would've been better to say 'armenia brought it upon themselves' rather than what you went with considering the ethnic cleansing that occurred
