Iran has signed a $25 billion agreement with Russia’s state energy corporation Rosatom to construct four nuclear power plants, Tehran’s IRNA news agency reported on Friday.<\/p>\n

The agreement was concluded on Wednesday at the Atom Expo 2025 exhibition in Moscow. Rosatom described the project as “strategic.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The move comes as the so-called “snapback”<\/em> mechanism of the landmark 2025 nuclear deal with Iran is being triggered by the European parties and is set to return by the end of Saturday.<\/p>\n

Britain, France and Germany initiated the sanctions last month, accusing Iran of failing to adhere to its commitments under the agreement. Russia and China have opposed the sanctions.<\/p>\n

Moscow’s UN envoy has stated that Russia does not recognize the snapback procedure as legal.<\/p>\n

The news agency reported that the Generation III plants will be built on a 500-hectare site in the Sirik region of southeastern Hormozgan province and are expected to produce 5,000 megawatts of electricity.<\/p>\n

The deal was struck between Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev and Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization head Mohammad Eslami, with officials saying it shows the two countries’ commitment to “peaceful nuclear cooperation.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Eslami told Iranian state media earlier this week that Tehran plans to build eight nuclear power plants as part of a drive to reach 20 gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2040.<\/p>\n

Iran, which suffers periodic power shortages during peak demand, currently operates a single nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr. Also built by Russia, the facility has a capacity of 1 gigawatt.<\/p>\n

Moscow has close relations with Tehran and condemned the US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June.<\/p>\n

Israel claimed that Iran was on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons, but Tehran said it never had such intention.<\/p>\n

Mohammad Eslami told RT in an exclusive interview on Friday that Iran will continue its peaceful nuclear program regardless of foreign pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
