Iran began building its second nuclear power plant with Russian help on Saturday, the first such project since last year's landmark nuclear deal with world powers. Construction on the second plant is set to begin in 2018. "Construction of the power plant is a symbol of Iran enjoying the results of the nuclear deal," Senior Vice-President Ishaq Jahangiri said at a ceremony marking the start of the project. It hopes to generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power in the next 15 years. ———Associated Press producer Mahdi Fattahi in Bushehr, Iran, contributed to this report.
