Pointing to the issue of cyber threats, he said the AEOI has recently succeeded to implement several security plans aimed at preventing any possible cyber attacks.

He added in conclusion that several new nuclear projects would be implemented by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (started March 20, 2016).
