Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared on Sunday that Tehran will rebuild its nuclear facilities “with greater strength,” while reaffirming that the country has no intention of developing nuclear weapons, state media reported.
His remarks come after US President Donald Trump warned that he would order renewed strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites if Tehran attempts to reactivate facilities that were targeted by US forces in June.
Pezeshkian made the statement during a visit to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, where he met with top officials from the country’s nuclear sector.
“Destroying buildings and factories will not create a problem for us, we will rebuild and with greater strength,” the Iranian president told state media.
In June, the US launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities that Washington says were part of a program geared towards developing nuclear weapons. Tehran maintains that its nuclear programme is for purely civilian purposes.
“It’s all intended for solving the problems of the people, for disease, for the health of the people,” Pezeshkian said in reference to Iran’s nuclear activities.
