Russian leaders have said they are prepared to accept Iran's enriched uranium if the US and Iran reach an agreement.

The Russian state nuclear company said on the 19th local time that if progress is made in talks between the US and Iran and a final agreement is reached on the Iranian nuclear issue, Russia is ready to receive Iran's enriched uranium. On the 18th, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said that the US's demand for Iran to completely abandon its uranium enrichment rights in the second round of indirect talks with Iran is "inappropriate", and that Iran has the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.
