The plan to build eight nuclear reactors in Iran was announced in 2014, but it has remained largely at the level of framework agreements and preliminary contracts for more than a decade. The recent visit of Iran’s Nuclear Chief to Moscow marks a significant step forward in the implementation of this project, which is expected to enhance Iran’s energy infrastructure and strategic capabilities. The agreement is part of a broader cooperation between Iran and Russia, which has seen increased collaboration in various sectors, including energy, defense, and technology.
