With news of a potential meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and his newly-elected Iranian counterpart President Hassan Rouhani raising hopes that the stalemate over Iran's nuclear program might finally come to an end, Russia has handed over control of Iran's single nuclear power plant to domestic specialists, SIA reports quoting The Moscow Times.
Russia and Iran signed a protocol Monday transferring control of the Bushehr nuclear power plant to Iranian specialists, 37 years after construction on the facility began and two years after operations were launched under international supervision.
Russian specialists will remain on the premises for two years to offer advice and technical support, Itar-Tass reported.
That same day, Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi announced that the two governments plan to cooperate on the construction of new power plants as well.
