Iran and Russia are set to deepen their cooperation in nuclear energy. This week, both countries plan to sign important agreements for constructing new nuclear power units in Iran. Iran’s nuclear chief and vice president, Mohammad Eslami, announced the development during his visit to Moscow. This collaboration marks a significant step in Iran’s pursuit of expanding its nuclear capabilities for peaceful purposes.
International Reactions and Nuclear Ambitions
Western governments remain skeptical of Iran’s intentions. They accuse Tehran of not fully adhering to the 2015 nuclear deal, which aimed to limit Iran’s nuclear activities and prevent the development of nuclear weapons. However, Iran continues to deny any plans to create nuclear weapons, emphasizing its focus on peaceful nuclear energy. Russia stands by Iran’s right to develop nuclear energy for civilian use and supports this new phase of cooperation. The upcoming agreements could shape the future of Iran’s energy sector and influence global nuclear diplomacy.
