Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that a proposal to transfer enriched uranium from Iran to Russia remains on the table, according to state media reporting.
Putin noted that everyone had initially agreed to the arrangement, though the available reporting does not specify which parties were involved in that initial agreement or provide further detail on the current status of negotiations.
Limited detail on timeline
No information was given on when the proposed transfer might take place, what volume of enriched uranium would be involved, or what conditions might apply to the arrangement. Putin's comments appear to reaffirm Russia's continued openness to the proposal rather than announce any new development.
Proposals involving the movement of enriched uranium between countries typically relate to nonproliferation efforts, as transferring enriched material to a third country can be used as a mechanism to limit the amount of fissile material held within a given state's borders.
Further details on the parties involved, the diplomatic context behind the proposal, and any next steps were not included in the available reporting. Statements on the matter from Iranian officials were not referenced.
