Iran has successfully completed the first phase of the Karun nuclear power plant in Khuzestan province, featuring a domestically designed 300 MW pressurised water reactor. This achievement comes despite China and France abandoning the $2 billion project due to pressure from the United States. Concurrently, Pakistan is advancing plans to build a pipeline to transport natural gas from Iran, aiming to address its dwindling energy supplies. The pipeline, which faced delays over concerns of U.S. sanctions, has now received approval from the Pakistani government to commence construction of an 80km segment of the 800km pipeline. This move comes after nearly a decade of delays and the looming threat of a potential $18bn penalty from Tehran for not completing the project. The Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline is seen as a significant step towards strengthening bilateral relations and providing Iran with a second customer for its gas after Turkey.
