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]
