About
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) is Iran's state agency and the primary Iranian government agency responsible for overseeing nuclear research and development, as well as the research, development, and operation of nuclear energy and nuclear fuel cycle installations throughout Iran. Established in 1974, it serves as the central authority for Iran's nuclear program, including uranium enrichment activities at key facilities such as Natanz and the previously undeclared site at Fordow. The AEOI has been involved in both civilian nuclear technology advancements and activities that have attracted international attention and sanctions due to concerns over potential military applications.
