- Majid Khansari plays an influential role in Iran’s nuclear programme. He is the former CEO of Natanz nuclear site, as well as of EU-listed centrifuge manufacturer Kalaye Electric Company (KEC). As an expert in the field of nuclear management, he continues to share his opinion on Iran’s nuclear programme and influence the national debate around that programme. Majid Khansari is therefore involved in Iran’s nuclear or ballistic missile activities.
