Russia ready to help with removal of enriched uranium from Iran The head of Russia's state atomic energy company, Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, said on Saturday that Rosatom is ready to help with the removal of enriched uranium from Iran. Likhachev added that the company was closely following the progress of US-Iran talks. Trump on Friday also claimed that Washington would work with Tehran to bring enriched uranium to the US.
Iran firmly denied any such transfer. Iran's enriched uranium is not going to be transferred anywhere. Transferring uranium to the United States has not been an option for us, Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, told state television.
