Wednesday, 08 July_The Iranian government says nothing can come in the way of the country’s peaceful nuclear program and that the recent incident in one of its nuclear sites would not affect Iran’s uranium enrichment level.

Natanz incident had no impact on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program: SpokesmanAli Rabiei, the administration's spokesman, made the comments at a press conference in the capital Tehran on Tuesday.

Referring to an incident at Natanz nuclear facility last week, Rabiei said, “Fortunately, there were no casualties, no radioactive radiation and no impact on our activities in the country's peaceful nuclear program.”

“Certainly, if we come to the conclusion that there has been foreign interference in this incident, we will respond appropriately,” he added.

The spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Behrouz Kamalvandi, on Thursday reported an incident at the Natanz nuclear complex but emphasized that there has been no damage to the main uranium enrichment facility.

He said the incident caused no casualties and did not affect the activities at the complex.
