The Kremlin claimed that the United States had rejected a Russian proposal to transfer Iran's stockpiles of enriched uranium to Russia, as part of efforts to defuse tensions in the Middle East.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was ready to welcome the uranium onto its territory, believing that such a move could help reduce the risks associated with Iran's nuclear program.
This proposal, initially put forward last June, was recently revived by Russia. It aimed to offer an interim solution by removing some sensitive materials from Iranian territory, while facilitating potential international negotiations.
According to Dmitri Peskov, Washington rejected this offer. American media outlets also report that the president's administration Donald Trump does not wish to pursue this initiative, without publicly stating the reasons.
On the Tehran side, authorities indicated that any decision concerning their uranium stocks would depend on the progress of discussions with the United States, particularly on the issue of the nuclear program.
This episode illustrates the persistent disagreements between major powers regarding the handling of the Iranian issue. It also underscores the complexity of the ongoing negotiations, in a context of regional tensions and heightened diplomatic rivalries.
