JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) – Iran’s foreign minister said Thursday his country had not ruled out Russia’s uranium enrichment proposal, but stressed several issues still needed to be discussed, including timing and location.
“With such an understanding … maybe we can reach some compromise,” Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters during a brief visit to Indonesia.
Iranian and Russian officials held talks this week to try to find a way to end a standoff over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, but no visible progress was made.
The discussions centered on a proposal to transfer Iran’s uranium enrichment program to Russia, a move that could prevent the process from being used to make atomic weapons.
