A view of a wharf on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr, Iran's first nuclear seaport city, located in Bushehr province, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, on April 28, 2024. Iran is continuing to utilize the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which became fully operational and connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, after overcoming numerous delays and challenges, including the halting of construction following the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and subsequent political sanctions that led Germany to cease work. An agreement with Russia in 2004 allowed for the completion of the project, making it Iran's first and only active 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.
