Iran’s official news agency says the country is preparing to build more nuclear power plants.

He says his company signed agreements with other domestic firms to find locations to build new nuclear power plants. He says the process could take about 13 months.
Iran has previously announced plans to build six more nuclear power plants by 2021.
