EXCLUSIVE: Russian document reveals sweeping Iran plan spanning nuclear, finance and aviation
Forty-four pages. Sixty-eight percent to seventy-one. Rosatom back at Bushehr on Sept. 2.
Summary
- Fox News Digital obtained a 44-page Russian-language document titled Plan for Cooperation Between the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran for 2024-2026, marked for official use and approved on the Russian side on Sept. 2, 2024, with deadlines through the end of 2026.
- The plan set a target to raise the share of bilateral trade in national currencies from 68 percent in 2024 to 71 percent by 2026, called for central-bank digital currencies for cross-border settlements, and sought independent systems for transmitting financial messages. In February 2025, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk said settlements had practically completely shifted into national currencies; Iran's ambassador said the pair no longer needed SWIFT.
- The roadmap assigns Rosatom continued work at Iran's Bushehr plant, including Unit 1 fuel and maintenance and construction on Units 2 and 3. On Sept. 2, 2026, Rosatom said Russian specialists had begun returning, nuclear fuel had been delivered, and more specialists were expected. The document also names Shadegan, Kish, and North Pars energy fields, with some financing marked confidential.
- Keti Korkiya of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies reviewed the document and said the architecture, not any single project, is the point: finance, transport, energy, and aviation redundancy against Western pressure. A European intelligence source told Fox the material is strategic and focused on nuclear, energy, and financial transactions aimed at evading U.S. sanctions. A U.S. official said such evasion efforts were not surprising and that alternative channels cannot replicate the dollar system.
Commentary
A tool-and-die dad still clocks a shift and knows a sanctions stamp is supposed to mean a nuke plant does not get a fuel truck. He did not pay the levy so a 44-page roadmap could sit while specialists walked back into Bushehr.
Forty-four pages. Sixty-eight to seventy-one. SWIFT declared unnecessary in February 2025. Specialists back on Sept. 2, 2026. The linoleum in that sanctions shop still remembers the overtime. The honest household already bought the fuel that was not supposed to move.
Look every working father who still pays the levy after a night shift in the eye and answer this: if Rosatom already walked back into Bushehr, who still owns the next confidential line on that 44-page stamp?
Comments
44 pages. Approved Sept. 2, 2024. 68 to 71 percent. Keep the three.
I stood a gate so a sanctions stamp still meant a hold. SWIFT optional is not a weather report.
Rosatom back Sept. 2, 2026. Shadegan, Kish, North Pars. Confidential financing. Print the stack.
Allied ledgers still treat a dual-currency dodge as a breach, not a trade fair.
Korkiya: architecture. Euro intel: evade U.S. sanctions. File both.
I still smell diesel at 2 a.m. I want the next fuel truck turned around.
A 44-page official-use stamp is not a vibe. It is a warning the street already paid.
A Bushehr return is a second border around every honest sanctions desk.
Fox printed 44 pages, 68-to-71, and the Sept. 2 return. Argue those nouns.
Keep the dollar pressure. Disrupt the channels. A confidential field is not a souvenir.
