Kyiv • UNN
Iran proposes transferring 400 kg of enriched uranium to Russia and freezing its nuclear program. The US has allegedly agreed to lift oil sanctions against Tehran.
Iran's updated proposal includes a condition for transferring uranium stockpiles to Russia as part of a peace deal with the US, Al-Arabiya reports, citing sources, according to UNN.
According to leaks, the Iranian side agreed to a long-term freeze of its nuclear program instead of full dismantling, provided that the highly enriched uranium, estimated at 400 kg, is transferred to Russia rather than the United States.

Regarding compensation, Iran reportedly dropped this demand, requesting economic concessions instead.
Simultaneously, according to the Tasnim news agency, an Iranian source stated that the United States agreed to lift oil sanctions imposed on Tehran during the negotiation period.
Meanwhile, an Iranian official declined to immediately comment on whether Washington had indeed agreed to lift oil sanctions for Tehran.
A high-ranking Iranian source explained that the United States showed flexibility by allowing Iran to continue limited peaceful nuclear activities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The source said that Washington has so far agreed to return only a quarter of Iran's frozen assets, according to a phased schedule. He added that Tehran asked Washington to reconsider both positions.
He also noted that Iran's new proposal again focuses on ending the war, opening the Strait of Hormuz, and lifting maritime sanctions.

According to the publication, Tehran generally demanded a long-term, multi-stage ceasefire, as well as a political formulation of the expected agreement that would allow it to "save face."
Leaks also indicated that Iran requested a gradual and safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz with guarantees of Pakistan and Oman's involvement in any potential clashes in the strait, as well as separating the maritime route from the complexities of the nuclear issue.
