In a phone call with President Trump this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed moving Iran's enriched uranium to Russia as part of a deal to end the war.
Trump turned him down, sources tell Axios. Why it matters: Securing Iran's 450 kilograms of 60%-enriched uranium — convertible to weapons grade within weeks, and enough for more than 10 nuclear bombs — is one of the U.S. and Israel's key war objectives.
In theory, Putin's offer could help facilitate the removal of Iran's nuclear stockpile without U.S. or Israeli boots on the ground. Russia is already a nuclear power and previously stored Iran's low-enriched uranium under the 2015 nuclear deal, making it one of the few countries with the technical capacity to accept the material. Behind the scenes: Putin raised several ideas for ending the war between the U.S. and Iran in his call with Trump on Monday. The uranium proposal was one of them.
"This is not the first time it was offered. It hasn't been accepted. The U.S. position is we need to see the uranium secured," a U.S. official told Axios. Russia raised similar proposals during U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations last May — before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran's nuclear facilities in June — and in the weeks before the current war began.

Well, that’s pretty cool of Vlad to want to help out like that.
Moving Iran’s uranium to Russia for safekeeping is about as safe as Congress’ Social Security lock-box.
even stevie wonder can see that this is a bad trade.
We buy about 24% of our uranium from Russia.
Having the cat guard the cheese
Trump has learned that Putin can’t be trusted.
riiiiiiight .... i’m sure the mullahs and the IRGC would all be delighted to just hand over their enriched uranium to putin ...
Putin is giving Iran intel that is killing our troops so yeah Trump knew better than trusting that jackass
I wonder if Trump could get Ukrainian concessions from Putin over this…
This is the asshole legacy media attempting to push their narrative and get Americans to demand an immediate end to the war.
Our legacy media is a pathetic cabal of anti-American pukes.
He offered the Clinton’s to hold our uranium and Shitlery took him up on it. What’s Trump’s problem?
Well, Putin’s gotta lotta Sarmats and Poseidons that need warheads, so of course he’d ask for that uranium for “safekeeping” purposes.
Good on Trump for seeing right through it. Makes up for the utter idiocy of YET AGAIN throwing Putin a life raft by cutting sanctions on its most valuable export (which invariably puts money into Iran’s back pocket) while tariffing the countries that DO buy American stuff (which Russia doesn’t) and AREN’T cyber attacking the hell out of the USA (like Russia’s been doing relentlessly for two decades at least!)
I’m guessing a deal may have been made where Putin stops sending Iran intelligence about our troop movements, etc. to Iran (even Putin can see they are betting on a dead horse) in exchange for Trump lifting the sanctions on Russia so that they can sell their oil more easily. Money talks.
Not for nothing....But “Z” is going to try and blackmail us with their drone capability...
Sounds like Trump no longer trusts Putin.
