U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated that transferring Iran's enriched uranium to Russia as part of negotiations to end the war is "not currently" a U.S. plan, UNN reports, citing CNN.
"This is not currently our plan. This has never been our plan. I've seen some reporting on this. I don't know where that came from,"
Vance suggested that such an arrangement would likely face resistance from both Washington and Tehran.
"So, that is not currently the plan of the United States government. The Iranians haven't raised it. My sense is that's not something the Iranians would be particularly happy with, and I know the President is not particularly happy with it either," Vance added.
As a reminder
The day before, Al Arabiya reported that, according to leaks, the Iranian side agreed to a long-term freeze of its nuclear program instead of a full dismantle, on the condition that the highly enriched uranium, estimated at 400 kg, would be transferred to Russia rather than the United States.
