TEHRAN -- Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Muhammad Eslami on Saturday warned the occupying regime of Israel over its threat to attack Iranian nuclear sites, saying Tel Aviv must first take into consideration its poor capability before threatening Tehran.
Speaking to Yemen’s Al-Masirah television, Eslami said the Zionist regime should look in the mirror and check its capabilities before making threats to strike Iranian nuclear sites.

In his remarks, Eslami said, in line with its national strategy, Iran has never sought and will not seek to acquire nuclear weapons, stressing the country always acts in full accordance with standards and within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The Iranian nuclear chief emphasized that no sign of deviation in the country’s nuclear program has been found during all the inspection procedures that have been conducted so far on Iran’s nuclear sites.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Eslami said arrogant powers thought that they can deal a blow to the Islamic Revolution by assassinating an Iranian nuclear scientist, but such measures were counterproductive and not only failed to weaken Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, but rather led to its strengthening and development.
The AEOI chief further said that other signatories to the JCPOA did not fulfill their commitments stipulated in the nuclear agreement and this explains the reason behind negative media hype against Iran.
Eslami emphasized that the upcoming negotiations in the Austrian capital of Vienna between Iran and the P4+1 group of countries would focus on the return of the other parties to their commitments as per the JCPOA and would have nothing to do with nuclear issues.
