— Iran’s Atomic Chief, Fereidoon Abbasi, said that Iran plans to
export its nuclear materials and services to the global market, the
official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday.
Fereidoon Abbasi,
Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), said in a conference
here on Saturday that “We intend to participate in the global market in
the field of exporting nuclear materials and services,” according to
IRNA.
“We want to export nuclear materials and services to other
countries in the world in order to find our place in the global market
and to economize our products,” Abbasi was quoted as saying.
He also recommended “joint work with other world countries in nuclear field,” said IRNA.
In
February, in a decree issued by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
ex-atomic chief Ali-Akbar Salehi was substituted by another nuclear
scientist Fereidoon Abbasi who had survived a terrorist bomb attack at
the end of last year.
Western countries are pushing for pressures
against Iran over its persistence on pursuing its sensitive nuclear
program. Tehran insists that its nuclear program is “peaceful” and aims
at energy production for civilian use.
