Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that Moscow is prepared to receive Iran's excess highly enriched uranium for processing within Russian nuclear facilities. Following this, Russia would return the uranium to Iran in a lower enrichment level suitable for use in nuclear energy production at Iranian facilities. This proposal is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts involving the United States, Iran, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to address concerns related to Iran's nuclear program. Russian officials have emphasized that both Washington and Tehran have taken the proposal seriously, while reaffirming Iran's right to enrich uranium on its own soil. The initiative aims to manage Iran's surplus enriched uranium by converting it into fuel-grade material, potentially facilitating peaceful nuclear energy development and contributing to negotiations between the involved parties.
