Russia offers to process Iranian uranium amid differences over talks

 Moscow still views the American-Israeli war as an act of aggression against Iran. But there are also many things that may have been discussed behind closed doors during meetings in Tehran. Not much has been revealed to the media.

The Russians have been putting forward a proposal to process Iran’s uranium enriched to 60 percent. Moscow is ready to take care of that as part of a major concession Iran is being asked to make so that the Americans can return to the negotiating table.

We understand the Iranians – in the seven points they proposed for peace in the region – did not include nuclear discussions, saying those should come after the lifting of sanctions and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Americans, meanwhile, insist the nuclear file should be first and foremost on the list of priorities in any discussion before the two sides can reach some kind of peace.
