Iran-Daily Life In Iran’s First Ever Nuclear Seaport City Of Bushehr

Iranian men are sitting at an outdoor cafe in Iran's first nuclear seaport city of Bushehr, located in Bushehr province on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, Iran, on April 28, 2024. The Bushehr nuclear power plant, aimed at providing electricity and diversifying energy resources, began construction in 1975 after Iran signed a contract with the German company Siemens. However, the Islamic Revolution in 1979 brought the construction to a halt, and Germany ceased work due to political sanctions. After a prolonged delay, in 2004, the Islamic Republic of Iran entered into an agreement with Russia to finish the project. Eventually, 27 years after construction began, the Bushehr nuclear power plant became fully operational and was connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, marking it as Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant.
