(Worthy News) – Iran on Saturday began construction on a new nuclear power plant in the country’s southwest, Iranian state TV announced, amid tensions with the U.S. over sweeping sanctions imposed after Washington pulled out of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear deal with world powers.

The plant will be located in Iran’s oil-rich Khuzestan province, near its western border with Iraq, it said. [ Source: CBS News (Read More…) ]
