Iran Press/Iran news: Mohammad Eslami told Iran Press on the sidelines of the cabinet session on Wednesday, that the construction of nuclear power plants is now on the agenda of most countries, especially those that have nuclear power plants, and there is no obstacle for the Islamic Republic according to international laws and regulations.
Eslami explained: "We have started the 20,000 MW project, which we must complete by 2041; The projects are on track to be operational, and we have made progress in line with our schedule, and will continue to do so."
The European Troika—comprising the United Kingdom, France, and Germany—issued a joint statement accusing Iran of "nuclear escalation," while omitting any reference to the West's own failures to uphold commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The JCPOA was signed between Iran and P5+1 countries (Russia, China, UK, Germany, France, and the US) in 2015, to lift the West's sanctions on Iran, but the US scrapped it on May 18, 2018, re-imposing more sanctions on Iran.
