A senior Iranian lawmaker cautioned Western powers that they would soon need to acknowledge the progress of Iran's nuclear program, as reported by Iran's state news agency on Saturday. The head of the parliamentary committee for national security and foreign policy, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, made these remarks at a ceremony in Mashhad honoring Iran's nuclear scientists who have been killed or injured. Western nations suspect Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons, a claim that Iran has consistently denied. Talks are scheduled to resume this week in an attempt to address these international concerns, although the location of the negotiations has not yet been determined. Boroujerdi emphasized that the P5+1 countries must change their approach towards Iran, as he stated that challenging the Islamic Republic would not be advantageous for them. Iran, with honour, will continue discussing the topic of peaceful nuclear energy. It is believed that soon, countries like America and Europe will acknowledge Iran's progress in nuclear technology and accept its membership in the nuclear community. Despite facing threats and sanctions, Iran has made significant advancements in its nuclear capabilities, including all stages of uranium enrichment. Recently, Iran announced the successful loading of domestically produced fuel rods into the Tehran Research Reactor. Iran maintains that it has the right to engage in peaceful nuclear activities under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Boroujerdi stressed that Iran's nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes, but warned that if the International Atomic Energy Agency does not fulfill its commitments, Iran's scientists may build a reactor within the country. Speaking in front of families of deceased scientists, Boroujerdi cautioned that targeting Iranian nuclear scientists is ineffective. He stated that despite attempts by the Zionist regime, Arabs, and America to eliminate their scientists, Iran's advancements in nuclear science will continue with the support of university students and professors. The IAEA recently reported Iran's increase in production of enriched uranium, raising concerns about potential military intentions. While some doubt Iran's claims, experts believe that enriching uranium to 20 percent is a significant step towards achieving the 90 percent threshold for nuclear explosions. The Islamic Republic of Iran states that the highly refined uranium is needed to replace depleting stocks of special fuel for a reactor in Tehran that produces medical isotopes for cancer patients. The United States and its allies have imposed new sanctions on Iran in an attempt to stop their enrichment activities. Israel has threatened Iran with military action, while US president Barack Obama is advocating for a diplomatic solution. The next round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 group has been delayed due to disagreement on the location.
