'Enemies seeking to politicize Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities'

QOM, Dec. 18 (MNA) – Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Deputy Director Mohammad Ahmadian said that the enemies have waged a psychological warfare in the world to politicize Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities. Enemies have spared no effort to run a campaign against Iran’s nuclear program through casting doubt and providing false information about the country’s activities in the area of nuclear technology, Ahmadian said at the opening ceremony of the 18th specialized exhibition of Iran’s achievements in nuclear industry in Qom on Saturday. “Actually, they (the enemies) have a problem with the principle of Islamic system and Iran’s policies which call for justice,” he stated. They have tried to put obstacles in the way of the Islamic Republic and not to allow the country to be at the height of its success in the nuclear field through developing computer worms and waging soft warfare campaigns against the country, he said. However, Iran’s progress in the nuclear technology proves the fact that all their attempts have been futile, he added. He also praised Iran's progress and achievements in various areas of nuclear technology, including the launch of the Bushehr power plant and its connection to the national grid, producing medical radioisotopes, and using nuclear technology in agriculture and industry. He also said that Iran is one of the few countries which possess the complete cycle of nuclear fuel production. Radioisotope is a radioactive isotope which is used in physical and biological researches and therapeutics. The radioisotopes which are produced in Iran are mainly used for diagnosis and treatment of various cancers or are used to alleviate cancer-related pains. In December 2010, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad officially unveiled five national radioisotope-production plans. In January and February, four domestically produced radioisotopes were unveiled.
