Iran claims nuclear tech immune to US strikes; AEOI chief dismisses threats

Iran's atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami asserted that Iranian nuclear technology cannot be halted by external threats, pressure, or attacks, responding to reported US threats of tactical strikes on nuclear facilities. The claim is unverified and likely rhetorical, but signals Tehran's defiance amid escalating nuclear tensions. This matters as it raises the stakes in US-Iran confrontation, potentially affecting diplomatic and market risk perceptions.
