Russia says it's ready to remove highly enriched uranium from Iran
Russia said on Wednesday it stood ready to remove highly enriched uranium from Iran and convert it into civilian reactor fuel as a potential way to help narrow U.S.-Iranian differences over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.
Tehran says it has the right to peaceful nuclear power, but its swiftly advancing uranium enrichment program has raised fears in the wider West and across the Gulf that it wants to develop a nuclear weapon.
The United States is trying to broker a deal to get Iran to rein in its nuclear activities, but President Donald Trump said in an interview released on Wednesday he was less confident than a couple of months ago that Iran would agree to halt enrichment.

Israel on Thursday urged the international community to "respond decisively" and prevent its long-time foe Iran from developing nuclear weapons after the United Nations nuclear watchdog found Tehran in "non-compliance" with its obligations. "Iran has consistently obstructed IAEA's verification and monitoring, it removed inspectors, and it sanitized and concealed suspected undeclared locations in Iran," Israel's foreign ministry said on X. "These actions undermine the global non-proliferation regime and pose an imminent threat to regional and international security and stability." AFP
