MOSCOW, June 27. /TASS/. Iran does not seek to develop nuclear weapons but cannot leave its future generations without peaceful nuclear technologies, Tehran’s Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 channel.

He added that Iran will continue to build nuclear power stations and enrich uranium for its energy needs.

"Undoubtedly, Iran will continue its peaceful nuclear energy program. We do not aspire to develop a nuclear bomb but we cannot deprive our country’s future generations of peaceful nuclear technologies. We will certainly build electric power stations, enrich to the extent where we can supply power to our own power plants," the envoy explained.

The diplomat noted that Iran considers the right to use nuclear technologies as the "right of all mankind."

In the early morning hours of June 13, Israel launched a military operation against Iran. Less than 24 hours later, Iran retaliated.
