Iran Vows to Rebuild Nuclear Facilities ‘With Greater Strength’ After Strikes

        Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visits the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation in Tehran, Iran.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared that Tehran will rebuild its nuclear facilities “with greater strength” following recent U.S. and Israeli strikes that targeted key sites earlier this year.

Speaking during a visit to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Pezeshkian emphasized that the attacks would not derail the country’s nuclear ambitions, which he insisted remain focused on civilian purposes such as medicine and energy.

The strikes, carried out in June, were described by Washington as a necessary measure to halt what it claimed was a weapons-oriented nuclear program. Tehran has consistently denied pursuing nuclear arms, maintaining that its program is designed to address domestic needs, including healthcare and energy production.

“Destroying buildings and factories will not create a problem for us,” Pezeshkian told state media. “We will rebuild, and with greater strength.”

The announcement comes amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington. U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that any attempt by Iran to restart its nuclear facilities could trigger further military action. Meanwhile, regional actors such as Oman have urged both sides to return to diplomacy.

Iran’s pledge to rebuild is also seen as a signal of resilience to its adversaries. By stressing that its scientists retain the necessary knowledge and capabilities, Tehran is underscoring that its nuclear program cannot be permanently dismantled through military strikes alone.
