Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant

An Iranian man and his young daughter are swinging near an anti-aircraft gun in a coastal village on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr province, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, Iran, on April 29, 2024. In 1975, Iran signed a contract with the German company Siemens to construct the Bushehr nuclear power plant with the aim of providing electricity and diversifying energy resources. However, the Islamic Revolution in 1979 halted the construction, and Germany refused to continue work due to political sanctions. After years of delay, in 2004, the Islamic Republic of Iran reached an agreement with Russia to complete the project. Finally, in 2011, 27 years after construction began, the Bushehr nuclear power plant was fully operationalized and connected to the national electricity grid, becoming Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant.
