Iran plans to build many new nuclear plants with atomic reactors along its coastlines with the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea, Iran’s top nuclear official announced.
The announcement comes just a week after Western nuclear negotiators claimed that Iran was giving ground in talks aimed at ending Tehran’s contested enrichment program.
Iranian leaders, however, have remained defiant in the face of talks, announcing on Thursday that Tehran will build “enough atomic reactors to generate a total of 20,000 megawatts of electricity by 2020,” according to the country’s state-run Fars News Agency.
Top Iranian leaders and those involved with negotiations have also been quoted in the Persian language press as rejecting key details of the proposed nuclear deal.
Iran also announced that it was China’s largest oil supplier in the month of September.
“We are considering construction of power plants along the coasts of the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea as well as the Central parts of Iran, but priority is given to the Persian Gulf coasts because we want to pave the way for [the construction of] water desalination facilities to supply drinking water for the Southern provinces of Iran,” Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO), said Tuesday Fars reported.
At least 34 sites have already been designated for future nuclear power plants, according to Fars.
Additionally, Salehi announced just two days after nuclear negotiations ended that Russia would help Iran build new nuclear power plants across the country, according to Persian language press reports.

Typical signs of a …….: say a lot, but do little.
He’s more sympathetic to Iran than to Rubashkin.
He’ll unfreeze their assets & they’ll use it to finish their Nuclear plants.
Run that by me one more time. Yes, let me understand this. One of the largest oil producers in the world doesnt have enough fuel power, so they need to build nuclear power plants to produce nuclear power. Please explain to me, besides Obama, who do they think they are going to fool?
To Obama, Iran is not the real enemy. To Obama, the real enemy is the Republican Party — more specifically, the Tea Party — which he has to destroy.
Why? Because they are in the way of Obama from getting all what HE wants which is enacting all of his radical leftist agenda.
Iran? Hey, what’s a couple of little nukes between you and me??
