Russia negotiating construction of small modular NPPs with Iran: Rosatom
In early 2025, Iran suggested that the agenda of cooperation in nuclear energy with Russia be expanded by adding the construction of small modular nuclear power plants in the Islamic Republic to the discussion, he noted, TASS reported.
"Such negotiations are underway. I hope that sooner or later such agreements will be concluded," the chief executive said.
Russia has always been an active participant in the process of resolving the issues on Iranian nuclear activities, he stressed, adding that as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was formed and launched Moscow played a key role in providing technical and diplomatic support to Tehran.
In 2015, Iran and the world powers signed a landmark nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which imposed restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for partial relief from international sanctions. The three European signatories, Russia, France, the UK, along with China and Russia, are the only remaining parties to the 2015 nuclear deal after the US withdrawal in 2018.
