An Iranian official stated on Thursday, July 28th, that Iran will not respond to threats and will continue its peaceful nuclear program, emphasizing that the nation has built its nuclear technology with "blood, sweat, and tears." The statement comes amidst reports of damage to enrichment facilities and ongoing international scrutiny. The official, speaking through a statement attributed to @araghchi on X, formerly Twitter, declared that Iran "knows exactly what happened during the recent American-Israeli aggression, both to us and our adversaries" and warned of a more decisive response if aggression is repeated. The statement highlighted the nation's need for medical radioisotopes and enrichment for nascent nuclear power reactors, asserting that no one would abandon this homegrown technology due to external demands. The statement also addressed the possibility of a negotiated solution to concerns about the nuclear program, suggesting that the "military option" has proven incapable. "Our enrichment facilities are severely damaged, but our determination is not," the official asserted, underscoring Iran's commitment to its nuclear advancements despite setbacks.
