Putin Promotes Potential New Nuclear Collaborations with Iran as Ties Deepen

Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasizes the possibility of new nuclear power initiatives in Iran as the two nations strengthen their diplomatic ties.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has highlighted the possibility of enhancing nuclear collaboration with Iran, focusing on building more nuclear power units in the country.

During a press conference after discussions with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Friday, Putin mentioned ongoing talks about expanding nuclear energy projects between the two nations.

This development builds on the long-standing partnership on Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant, where Russia has constructed one reactor and is close to completing two additional ones.

Although the specific location for the new nuclear units remains unconfirmed, these plans emerge amid escalating tensions regarding Iran’s nuclear program and its regional influence.

The nations have signed a 20-year strategic treaty, broadening their cooperation in various fields, including military technology, intelligence sharing, and circumventing sanctions.

This partnership takes place against a backdrop of strained U.S.-Iran relations, particularly after the U.S. exited the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018. The U.S. has expressed concerns about the potential for Iran to enhance its nuclear capabilities, yet the proposed nuclear plants are intended for energy generation, not weapon development.

The treaty further cements the alliance between Russia and Iran, both of which are subject to international sanctions.

Both countries seek to bolster their positions amid geopolitical changes, including the conflict in Ukraine and tensions with Israel.

With the U.S. poised for a new administration, the outcome of this strengthened alliance could affect global dynamics.
