Iran is ready for “detailed” discussions on Moscow’s proposal for the two countries to enrich uranium jointly on Russian territory to defuse tensions over Tehran’s suspected nuclear program, a top Russian official said yesterday. “They find our proposal very interesting and are ready to move to detailed examination,” the head of Russia’s atomic energy agency, Sergei Kiriyenko, said.
Kiriyenko was speaking during a meeting with President Vladimir Putin, portions of which were broadcast on Russian television. He said “Iranian partners,” whom he did not name, were due to arrive in Russia in the coming days to talk about the plan and added that discussions between experts in Moscow and Tehran were “taking place constantly.” |
