Russia ready to accept Iran enriched uranium under U.S. peace deal, Kremlin says
Dmitry Peskov said Russia is prepared to accept enriched uranium from Iran as part of a potential future agreement with the United States.
Speaking to Agence France-Presse on Monday, Peskov said the idea had previously been proposed by Vladimir Putin during discussions with Washington and regional actors, but no practical steps have yet been taken.
The proposal comes as part of broader efforts to resolve disputes over Iran’s nuclear program, which remains a central issue in ongoing diplomatic tensions.
Peskov also criticized threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, warning that such actions could destabilize international markets and disrupt global trade.
Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Washington’s objective is to halt Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities and ensure that nuclear materials are placed under strict international or U.S. control.
Iran’s nuclear program has long been a point of contention between Tehran and Western powers, with negotiations focusing on limiting enrichment activities in exchange for sanctions relief.
Previous diplomatic frameworks have explored transferring or storing enriched uranium outside Iran as a confidence-building measure to reduce proliferation risks.
Russia’s offer highlights ongoing diplomatic maneuvering around Iran’s nuclear program, but significant differences remain as major powers seek a workable and enforceable agreement.
