Atomic Energy Organization of Iran

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) is a governmental body responsible for managing Iran's nuclear energy program and its related activities. Established in the early 1970s, the AEOI oversees the development of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, such as electricity generation and medical applications. However, it has been at the center of international scrutiny and negotiations due to concerns over potential military applications and Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The organization plays a vital role in Iran's energy strategy while balancing domestic needs with international agreements and regulations on nuclear technology.
