TEHRAN - Iran's atomic chief said Sunday that the country seeks to export its nuclear products and technology amid the "propaganda warfare" conducted by enemies to block the country's progress in the nuclear field.

President of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami made the remarks at the 29th Iranian Nuclear Conference at Shahid Beheshti University on Sunday, according to Iran's Mehr News Agency.

Iran rejects the allegation as "baseless" and sanctions as "illegal," saying its nuclear program is peaceful and the country has never sought to develop a nuclear weapon

Eslami said the country seeks to export its nuclear products and technology, adding that Iran is currently exporting radiopharmaceuticals and some types of nuclear equipment.
