Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that progress on two reactors under construction is "going well" and the two countries are "now discussing the possibility of building additional units".

The creation of the Nuclear Energy Platform is intended to share experience and support the development of nuclear technologies among BRICS+ member countries.

Iran says it has three nuclear energy reactors under construction, with site and technology selection processes under way for more - and has also outlined planned nuclear fuel cycle and research reactor developments.

The board of governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency has adopted a resolution calling on Iran to fully cooperate with the agency, including giving it access to locations and material for nuclear safeguards verification activities.
