The United States wants to export Iran's enriched uranium, most likely to destroy it. This was announced on May 21 by the American leader Donald Trump.

Reporters at the White House asked Trump if the United States administration would agree to Iran's retention of highly enriched uranium.

"No, not really. To get this highly enriched uranium, we will get it. We don't need him. We don't want him. We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we won't let them have it," he replied.

Al Hadath TV channel said on May 18 that Iran had expressed its readiness to transfer 400 kg of enriched uranium to Russia, not the United States. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on May 15 that Tehran would hold additional consultations with Moscow on the fate of Iran's enriched uranium when the United States and the Islamic Republic return to discussing this issue.

Trump said that the United States is ready to conclude a peace agreement with Iran on condition that Tehran stops enriching uranium for 20 years and provides guarantees. The head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, said on May 20 that Russia was ready to deal with Iranian enriched uranium in any format.
