Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei rejected U.S. calls for Iran to abandon uranium enrichment, emphasizing that nuclear technology serves a wide range of peaceful purposes beyond energy\u2014particularly in agriculture, medicine, and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the U.S. aims to deprive Iran of the nuclear industry and its many societal benefits. Nuclear technology, he noted, plays a vital role in food security, pest control, crop improvement, and managing water scarcity\u2014challenges central to Iran\u2019s development strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran\u2019s agricultural output has grown significantly, aided by advances in nuclear science. The Nuclear Agriculture Research Center in Karaj has introduced several high-yield, stress-tolerant crop varieties and developed vaccines and bio-supplements for livestock and poultry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iranian scientists have also applied nuclear methods to combat pests like the Mediterranean fruit fly and preserve food post-harvest through gamma-ray irradiation. These technologies contribute to soil health monitoring and environmentally friendly farming practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran’s nuclear achievements in agriculture demonstrate its peaceful and strategic use of atomic energy, countering narratives that focus solely on energy or weapons. These applications are seen as essential tools in adapting to climate change and supporting national food security and resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
