UN nuclear chief: Russia taking highly enriched uranium from Iran under discussion
The Hill ^ | 04/29/2026 | Sarah Davis

The head of the U.N.’s nuclear agency said Tuesday that Russia remains open to removing highly enriched uranium, a critical component of nuclear weapon development, from Iran.

Rafael Grossi stressed the importance of ensuring Iran loses this supply or that its enrichment is diluted during an interview with The Associated Press…

On Wednesday, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to help with “enrichment” during a phone call between the two leaders, presumably in reference to this proposed enriched uranium removal process.

“He told me he’d like to be involved with the enrichment — if he can help us get it. I said, ‘I’d much rather have you be involved with ending the war with Ukraine.’ To me, that would be more important,” Trump said, referring to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine…

The Hill?

BARF

I trust Trump. But every man has his misjudgements.

Trump is a great negotiator and strategist.

God Bless the USA. God Bless President Trump and his staff.

Never trust anything in the Iran Regime. Absolutely nothing.

The UN’s nuke chief? Yeah, I trust that source about like I trust the Hill. They’re all like Senator Kennedy’s observation re Iran’s leadership: He concluded that if we turn the other cheek, they’ll stab us in the neck. They’re all like American liberals, viz. murder is an acceptable and applauded tactic for them.

Russia wouldn't take it to begin with. They'd pretend to take it away, but what they would have done is to make it disappear into the weapons building hardware necessary to construct the nuclear bombs. Thus, Russia would have assisted their best buds in building the n-bomb that Iran wanted so badly.

The friend of our enemy is not our friend,

No way to Russia. All they will do is hold it over our heads that they can return it at any time.

As I posted yesterday.
Putin and Trump will work to get the conflict with Iran sorted so all parties get what they want.
Love it when the Superpowers work together.
Trump / Putin 👍

Might work. Would absolutely need U.S. inspections anywhere, anytime though.

HELL NO! They would either just leave it in Iran or sell it back to them in the future.
