The deal, involving Russia&#8217;s Rosatom Project Company and Iran&#8217;s hormoz Company, includes building four advanced third-generation nuclear reactors. This marks Russia&#8217;s second time constructing nuclear plants in Iran,following the Bushehr plant,operational as 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration aims to advance Iran&#8217;s nuclear energy capabilities, including the progress of small-scale modular reactors, which are seen as a future trend in power generation. Officials highlight the strong political and technical cooperation between the two countries. The agreement was signed by the heads of rosatom and Iran&#8217;s Atomic Energy Organization, with plans for more plants, totaling eight nuclear power units, four of which will be at Bushehr.<\/p>\n<p>This pact occurs amid ongoing geopolitical tensions: Russia&#8217;s conflict with Ukraine and Iran&#8217;s strained relations with Israel, and also pending U.N. sanctions over iran&#8217;s nuclear activities.
