Moscow has announced its readiness to remove excess enriched uranium from Iran and convert it into fuel for civilian nuclear power plants.
This move could play a key role in de-escalating nuclear tensions between Iran and the United States, as well as supporting the preservation of non-proliferation agreements.

According to a statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry, the country is offering its technical capabilities and expertise to carry out the project under international supervision. The uranium is expected to be processed at Russian facilities into fuel assemblies unsuitable for military use.

Amid ongoing disputes between Tehran and Washington over Iran’s nuclear program, Moscow’s involvement may represent a rare diplomatic gesture toward easing tensions. Russia has previously participated in similar missions under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which the U.S. withdrew from in 2018.

Iranian officials have yet to issue an official response to the proposal. Meanwhile, Washington has expressed cautious optimism, noting that any steps toward transparency and disarmament will be reviewed in coordination with the IAEA.
