Why it matters:
As with its nuclear program, Iran follows active development and legal compliance. By linking international cooperation to the parliamentary law regarding sites subjected to U.S.-Israeli June attacks, Tehran asserts its national sovereignty against acts of aggression.
On the ground:
- 19%: Average progress on Bushehr units 2 and 3 (engineering, equipment, and construction).
- 5,600: Number of workers (Russian and Iranian) currently on-site.
- Target: Units to go online sequentially after the Iranian calendar year 1407 (2028/2029).
What we're hearing:
Eslami confirmed the Bushehr project is on a revised schedule. Meanwhile, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei doubled down on the diplomatic front, insisting Iran’s nuclear rights are "inherent" under the NPT and immune to political pressure; a clear message to the West as it insists on continuing diplomatic tensions.
