It may be very premature to even suggest that there is a possible end to the dispute with Iran over their enrichment of uranium. Be that as it may, Iranian negotiators have signaled that Iran is willing to send its uranium to Russia for enrichment.
This is an idea that was proposed by the Russians years ago and then was not accepted. What has changed, you might ask?
Two things. First, Iran's new enrichment facility became public, which increased pressure on Iran to come to the negotiating table.
Second, there is now an American administration which does not deal with other nations as though the world community was a junior high school cafeteria and they were the cool kids. The days of senior American politically appointed diplomats spouting a childish line of: "They know what they have to do before we will talk to them" are over.
It may all fall apart, still, but at least people are talking.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
What I'm getting from that article is that the Iranians need refined uranium for a research reactor, and they can't make it yet. The Russians will refine it for them, and then they'll be able to make materials for nuclear medicine.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't giving up anything yet on developing their own ability to refine uranium. Strictly speaking, they haven't violated the terms of their agreement, since they're allowed to refine uranium for peaceful purposes as long as they have inspections.
The story seems unclear whether the Iranians declared the new facility first, or someone discovered it. Given it's our government that's claiming it discovered the thing, I'm a bit skeptical. Fool me once, shame on you, etc.
