The Kremlin declines to comment when asked if Russia is ready to take Iran’s stocks of enriched uranium as part of a possible future nuclear deal with the United States.

The Guardian reported earlier in the day that Tehran is expected to reject a US proposal to transfer its stockpile of enriched uranium to a third country such as Russia as part of a future accord with Washington to scale back Iran’s nuclear program.

Moscow, a party to Iran’s 2015 nuclear pact, which US President Donald Trump scrapped during his first term in office, has supported Tehran’s right to have a civilian nuclear program.

The US and others say Tehran, which is committed to the destruction of Israel, is building a nuclear weapon, which Iran denies.
