Officials did not immediately elaborate on the nature of the technical repairs, nor what prompted the closure.

What do we know about the plant?

Construction on the nuclear plant, located in the southern port city of Bushehr, began in the 1970s. It was later completed with the help of Russia and the plant went online in 2011.

Under a nuclear nonproliferation agreement, the uranium used to power the plant is produced in Russia. Iran is also obligated to send spent fuel rods back to Russia. Due to US sanctions, however, Iran is blocked from securing equipment and parts from Russia.
