Iran Pledges to Rebuild Nuclear Facilities, Says President
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian recently announced plans to rebuild the nation’s nuclear facilities. During a visit to the Atomic Energy Organization in Tehran on November 2, 2025, he emphasized that this rebuild would occur “with greater strength.” Pezeshkian reaffirmed that Iran does not aim to develop nuclear weapons, stating the focus is on peaceful uses of nuclear technology.
U.S. Warnings Amidst Nuclear Rebuilding
The announcement comes in the wake of heightened tensions with the United States. President Donald Trump has previously warned of potential military action against Iran if it attempts to revive its nuclear capabilities, which had been targeted in U.S. airstrikes in June. These strikes were part of a broader campaign to prevent the development of nuclear weapons in Iran.
Iran’s Stance on Nuclear Activities
During his remarks, Pezeshkian underscored that the destruction of nuclear facilities would not hinder Iran’s goals. He stated, “Destroying buildings and factories will not create a problem for us; we will rebuild and with greater strength.” This position highlights Iran’s commitment to advancing its nuclear program, which it claims is aimed at addressing health and medical needs of its population.
