Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reiterated that Moscow is ready to play a role in solving the problem of enriched uranium in Iran by either reprocessing it into fuel-grade uranium or by transferring a certain amount to Russia for storage without violating Tehran’s inalienable right. Sergey Lavrov also said that the right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is an inalienable right of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Mr Lavrov told this to reporters in Beijing, where he is on a two-day visit.
Russia was part of the 2015 deal between Iran and six nuclear powers, offering sanctions relief for Tehran in exchange for curbing its atomic programme and opening it to broader international scrutiny. As part of the deal, Moscow removed large amounts of enriched uranium from Iran. The Kremlin also offered political support to Iran when the US unilaterally withdrew from the agreement during Trump’s first term.
