WANA (Dec 11) – At the 2nd Iranian Plasma Medicine Congress, Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), emphasized Iran’s commitment to advancing in nuclear fission, fusion, lasers, plasma, and quantum science. “No war, bombing, or political pressure has stopped us, and no interference will halt our progress,” he said.

 

Eslami criticized reliance on imported technology, stressing that true advancement requires domestic innovation, especially in high-tech fields crucial for today and future generations. Highlighting the need for quantum science to process large data and AI, he said: “If we do not enter quantum science, we will fall behind.”

 

He described the AEOI as not only splitting atoms but also committed to pushing the frontiers of knowledge, with research and companies tasked with continuous development.

 

On strategic priorities, Eslami stated Iran must move powerfully in five areas: fission, fusion, laser, plasma, and quantum technologies, emphasizing that attempts to prevent Iran’s scientific leadership are about controlling technological dominance, not ideology.

 

Citing the recent U.S. National Security Strategy and policies on nuclear development, he criticized double standards in global technological advancement.

 

Eslami highlighted the AEOI’s achievements: products are in demand in 56 countries, and Iran ranks among the world’s top performers in several sectors.

 

He announced plans to establish 50 plasma-based wound treatment centers nationwide, with 11 already operational, noting that plasma technology has improved the health of around 1,500 chronic wound patients and is expanding into cancer treatment.

 

Plasma applications in environmental protection and agriculture were also emphasized, including industrial wastewater treatment, municipal waste leachate purification, and controlling aflatoxin in pistachios. Export potential exists in medical isotopes, plasma clinics abroad, and other high-tech products.

 

Eslami also mentioned continued scientific cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in multiple joint programs.

 

At the Congress, two advanced plasma medicine devices were unveiled: one for plasma drug synthesis and clinical studies, and a new AI-driven plasma jet system for wound treatment.
