Iran has started building a power plant in the western Syrian province of Latakia as part of the Islamic Republic’s bid to help the Arab country rebuild itself after more than of a decade of foreign-imposed war.
On Sunday, it was reported that a number of gas turbines had been shipped to the province in line with Iran’s efforts to carry out the project.
Pictures circulated across the social media showed the huge equipment entering Latakia using heavy transport vehicles.
Iran’s Mapna Group, a sprawling industrial conglomerate, has been tasked with implementing the project.

BEIRUT - Syria's government signed a contract with an Iranian company on Tuesday to import five gas-fired power plants to the war-battered city of Aleppo, in an early sign of the major role Tehran is expected to play in Syria's reconstruction.
The deal, reported by Syria's state news agency SANA, is part of a broader understanding reached by Damascus and Tehran promising Iranian companies contracts to restore electrical infrastructure in Syria, Electricity Minister Zuhair Kharboutli said during a visit to Tehran.
The Aleppo contract was awarded to the Iranian firm MAPNA and is valued at around 130 million euros, according to a Kharboutli statement carried Sunday by SANA.
Kharboutli also signed memorandums with Iranian Energy Minister Sattar Mahmoudi promising to import five plants to provide 540 megawatts of electricity to the coastal Latakia province, as well as to build wind and solar plants, and to restore plants in Deir el-Zour and Homs.
