Burkina Faso and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for cooperation on peaceful nuclear activities, according to Iran’s IRNA news agency.
The agreement, signed during the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference in Vienna, Austria, aims to promote joint research, education, and projects related to nuclear activities.
On Monday, Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian said that Iran has no intentions of developing nuclear weapons, debunking international concerns about the country’s uranium enrichment program.
In 2015, Iran signed an agreement with major world powers to limit its nuclear program under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in exchange for the lifting of sanctions placed on the country. However, the deal broke off in 2018 when the United States withdrew and reimposed sanctions on Iran.
Despite several negotiations since August 2022, efforts to revive the JCPOA agreement have made no progress.
