According to The Guardian, the U.S. is expected to propose the transfer of much of Iran’s highly-enriched uranium to a third-party country, such as Russia, as part of the nuclear talks this upcoming weekend in Rome. The issue of Iran’s stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium is seen as a major issue in regards to a further nuclear deal, with it being discussed during last Saturday’s negotiations in Oman, though Iran has and is expected to continue to resist any proposal that would see the removal of its enriched uranium.
