Mohammad Eslami (Persian: محمد اسلامی; born 23 September 1956) is the Vice President and Head of the Atomic Energy Organization in the government of President Raisi and was the Minister of Roads and Urban development and the Governor of Mazandaran in the government of Hassan Rouhani.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][excessive citations]

In 2008, the United Nations sanctioned Eslami, then the head of Iran's Defense Industries Training and Research Institute, for "being engaged in, directly associated with or providing support for Iran's proliferation of sensitive nuclear activities or for the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems."[18]

In 2024, Iranian state TV reported that Eslami had been reappointed as head of Iran's civilian nuclear program by the new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.[18]
