Want... China plans to build two nuclear power plants for Iran, according to the Shanghai-based Guancha Syndicate.
After sanctions on Iran's nuclear program are lifted, two power plants are planned to be built by China on the Makran coast near the Gulf of Oman, stated Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Atomic Energy Organization in Iran (AEOI).
The country hopes to bring in over 20,000 workers and engineers in the construction project, according to the report. Salehi stated that Iran has over 90 tons of water reserves and 7 to 8 tons of uranium to support the construction project. Behrous Kamalvandi, the spokesman of AEOI added that Iran is hoping these two nuclear plants could produce 190,000 SWUs (Sperative Work Units) of nuclear fuel for industrial use.
Salehi stated that the new deal will change Iran's nuclear industry as the costs and the benefits of nuclear industry will be justified as Chinese companies related to the nuclear development will open businesses in Iran.
After 22 months' of negotiation, Iran finally reached a deal with the P5+1 countries on its nuclear program on July 14 in exchange for the removal of sanctions. The new nuclear deal will greatly benefit China as it will allow Iran to export more oil to the country while its companies in nuclear industries will bring technology, job opportunities, and money to Iran.

Another win for China at the expense of US which is technologically more capable but is beholden to Israeli Shylocks who don't want a nuclear Iran.
