Nuke facility attacks ‘not new’; progress will continue: Iran
Behrouz Kamalvandi

Following US attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, says efforts to develop the civilian nuclear sector will go on, Al Jazeera reported.  

“This is not the first time our facilities are attacked,” Kamalvandi told Iran’s YJC news agency. “Considering our capabilities, the nuclear industry must continue.”

The organisation confirmed attacks took place on its Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz sites. Iran said there were no signs of radioactive contamination at the three locations.

Iran has maintained its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only, and US intelligence agencies assessed that Tehran is not actively pursuing a nuclear bomb.
