According to foreign media reports, the agreement aims to strengthen Iran’s nuclear energy infrastructure and deepen bilateral collaboration on various atomic energy projects. Analysts say the deal is not only significant for energy development but is also expected to further solidify political and economic ties between Tehran and Moscow.

The agreement was discussed during an online conference held in Moscow, where officials and experts from both countries reviewed different aspects of the cooperation.

Iran’s ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, highlighted key ongoing projects, including the expansion of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant and the Hormuz project, describing them as major examples of peaceful nuclear cooperation between the two countries.

He noted that the first unit of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is already operational, while construction work on the second and third units is underway. Once completed, these projects are expected to significantly boost Iran’s electricity generation capacity.

Jalali also said the $25 billion Hormuz project is Iran’s largest nuclear energy initiative and is being developed in partnership between Iran’s private sector and Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom.

He further mentioned plans for small modular nuclear power plants, expressing hope that practical work on these projects will begin soon. According to him, cooperation in advanced nuclear technology will benefit both countries.

The Iranian envoy also pointed to broader areas of cooperation, including Russian gas transit through Iran, expanding trade links with Eurasian countries, and growing collaboration in energy and transport sectors.

Concluding the conference, Jalali praised Russia’s political support in international forums and said both countries remain committed to strengthening ties across energy, technology, economic development, and regional cooperation.
