Involvement of the Zionist regime in such a project in Iran constitutes fabricated news and is totally unfounded, Arash Kordi told the Islamic Republic News Agency.

Recent reports by some media have recently alleged that a Turkish company, with extensive ties with the Zionist regime, has entered into negotiations with Iran to construct a power plant in the country.

Deputy Energy Minister for Electricity and Energy Houshang Falahantian had already expressed ignorance over the issue saying that as far as I know, there was no negotiation, memorandum of understanding or any kind of agreement signed with that company affiliated with the Zionist regime.

'If such a thing ever happens the ministry at any stage will terminate it,' Falahantian said.
