"Iran promises to rebuild atomic facilities after Western raids president Masud Pezeshkian said that the atomic program of this country is peaceful and does not aim to get atomic weapons."

Iran will rebuild atomic facilities, which at the beginning of this year were the mark of the US and Israel attacks, said president Masud Pezeshkian, repeating that his country is not aiming for the improvement of atomic weapons.

In June 2025, the United States and Israel conducted coordinated raids on Iran's atomic facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, causing major damage, as reported by satellite images and defence analysis.

They described this as a preventive attack aimed at halting Iran's advancement in the construction of a atomic bomb.

Later president Donald Trump warned that the United States could resume attacks if Iran restarted the damaged objects.

Tehran, who claims that his program is peaceful, condemned the attacks as a violation of sovereignty.

“The technological cognition is in the minds of our scientists.

Destroying buildings and factories will not be a problem for us – we will rebuild them, and with more force.” – said Pezeshkian to state media on Sunday during a visit to the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI).

He said that although atomic technology has destructive potential, ‘Only a fraction of its uses are for weapons’, adding that most of them service medicine, agriculture and industry.

Pezeshkian rejected the West's claim that Iran was pursuing the improvement of atomic weapons, saying: "the construction of atomic weapons is not in our plans and they know it".

"Unfortunately, targeted propaganda has made the word "nuclear" synonymous with bomb production...

All of our atomic activities aim to address the problems of citizens and extra-military issues" He stressed.

Western countries have long accused Iran of seeking an atomic bomb.

The global Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported at the beginning of this year that Tehran had enriched uranium to 60%, or below 90% required to produce weapons.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi later stated that there is no evidence that Iran is developing atomic weapons, noting that enriched uranium itself is not weapons.

Attempts to resume the 2015 atomic agreement, resumed this year and aimed at reducing uranium enrichment to mitigate sanctions, have been stuck in a deadlock since June attacks.

Tehran later limited the western monitoring of its atomic facilities, demanding guarantees before resuming talks.

AEOI president Mohammad Eslami announced on Sunday that Iran is planning to build 8 fresh atomic power plants in cooperation with Russia to increase its energy capacity.

These facilities are expected to make 20,000 megawatts of atomic power by 2041.
