The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has stressed the countrys right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, saying that sanctions on Iranian scientists will not hamper such activities.

In a series of posts on its Twitter account on Saturday, the AEOI said that the Islamic Republic has adopted a transparent approach in its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

This issue proves the rightfulness of using this energy for the Iranian people, it added on the occasion of theInternational Dayfor the TotalElimination of Nuclear Weapons.

The AEOI also noted that it has promoted its scientific programs in the areas of health, agriculture, food, radiopharmaceuticals andstable isotopes in a precise and determined manner and that sanctions imposed on Iranian nuclear scientists will not interrupt Iran's nuclear program strategic principle.

On Monday, the US slapped a raft of new restrictive measures onIranover its nuclear program, claiming it was enforcing a UN arms embargo.

The US Department of the Treasurys Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned three AEOI deputy directors and a number of its subsidiaries.

In late January, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the AEOI and its head Ali Akbar Salehi.

The AEOI further quoted Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah SeyyedAli Khamenei as saying, The Islamic Republic of Iran has never sought nuclear weapons and will not surrender the right of its people to peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Iran showed to the world the peaceful nature of its nuclear program by signing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with six world states namely the US, Germany, France, Britain, Russia and China in 2015. The nuclear deal was also ratified in the form of a UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

However,Washingtons exit in May 2018 and the subsequent reimposition of unilateral sanctions against Tehran left the future of the historic agreement in limbo.

Tehran remained fully compliant with the JCPOA for an entire year, waiting forthe co-signatories to fulfill their end of the bargain by offsetting the impacts of Washingtons bans on the Iranian economy.

As the European parties failed to do so, Tehran moved in May 2019 to suspend its JCPOA commitments under Articles 26 and 36 of the deal covering Tehrans legal rights.
