Russia is prepared to accept Iran's enriched uranium reserves as part of potential agreements regarding Tehran's nuclear program, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced during a briefing.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the Kremlin official emphasized it would be premature to evaluate the outcomes of US-Iran negotiations, which include the issue of controlling enriched uranium stockpiles.
Peskov stated, adding that forecasting the final results of such complex diplomatic processes is currently not advisable."The initiative was in our hands. We have declared our readiness to accept the uranium. The remaining issues are a matter of discussion between the Iranians and the Americans,"
The potential transfer of enriched uranium to a third party like Russia has historically been a key mechanism in international efforts to limit Iran's nuclear breakout capacity. This development comes at a critical juncture as US President Donald Trump's administration navigates the complexities of regional security and non-proliferation. Russia has previously played a similar role under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), acting as a designated recipient for excess Iranian nuclear material to ensure compliance with enrichment limits.
