Trump Rejects Putin's Proposal to Move Iran's Uranium to Russia

Donald Trump rejected Vladimir Putin's proposal to move Iran's enriched uranium to Russia, according to Axios.

The proposal was made during a phone call between the two leaders. Putin suggested the transfer as part of an agreement to end the war with Tehran.

Russia has previously stored Iran's low-enriched uranium under the 2015 nuclear deal. The seizure of 450 kilograms of uranium, enriched to 60%, is a key objective for the US and Israel.

Iran had rejected a similar proposal in the past, suggesting the 'dilution' of uranium in its own facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
