Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed that his country would rebuild its nuclear facilities “stronger than before” despite recent U.S. and Israeli strikes, stressing that Tehran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons.

During a visit to the Atomic Energy Organization, he stated, “Nuclear knowledge lies in our scientists’ minds, and destroying facilities won’t stop our scientific progress.”

He added that Iran’s nuclear development aims to meet domestic needs and improve public welfare, not to produce weapons.
