Iran Refusing Uranium Shipment Agreement

Tehran - Manouchehr Mottaki, Iranian Foreign Minister, said on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic refuses to send uranium to other countries. The deal between Iran, the US, Russia, France, and the UN was for Iran to ship uranium to Russia for enrichment. France would take the uranium and prepare it for Iran's nuclear reactors.

Iran has hinted at agreeing to simultaneously swapping uranium for nuclear fuel. Their catch is that the trade must happen inside of Iran under their supervision.
