Russia’s latest move is rather interesting—enriched uranium can even be packaged up and taken away, giving the chips on the negotiating table a few more additions.

Iran’s top national security authority said that once the other side imposes a maritime blockade, it will be considered a violation of the ceasefire and will be met with conditional and limited open control over the Strait of Hormuz, with the aim of taking charge of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz until the end of the war and achieving enduring peace in the region. At the same time, the head of Russia’s state atomic energy company said he is willing to help remove enriched uranium from Iran, adding that Russia is the only country that has positive experience cooperating with Iran and is closely monitoring the progress of US-Iran negotiations.
