(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 13. If Iran had not pursued uranium enrichment, it would not have been able to activate or operate the country's existing reactors, said the country's Vice-President, and Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, Trend reports.

Speaking at the opening of a plasma therapy clinic in the Fars province in southern Iran, Eslami explained that this is why Iran's competitors have targeted the country's strategic objectives. Currently, Iran has already passed this stage and has incorporated enrichment into the industrial sector.

The Vice President emphasized that Iran's uranium enrichment program has driven the establishment of nuclear power plants in the country. By 2041, Iran plans to bring online nuclear power plants capable of generating 20,000 megawatts of electricity annually. The only operating nuclear power plant in Iran, the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP), has already produced 72 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. Iran intends to expedite the commissioning of additional nuclear plants.
