| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has imposed a ban on the export of enriched uranium from the country. Reuters reported this on May 21,citing sources. According to the agency's source, the corresponding directive was adopted amid a consensus within Iran's political establishment that enriched uranium stockpiles should not leave the state. Iranian authorities believe that exporting radioactive material abroad could increase the Islamic Republic's vulnerability to possible future attacks by the United States and Israel. On May 18, Al Hadath TV reported that Iran expressed its willingness to transfer 400 kg of enriched uranium to Russia instead of shipping it to the United States. The authors noted that, under this condition, Iran agreed to a long-term freeze on its nuclear program. The United States, according to the TV channel, took a "more flexible stance" and expressed its willingness to allow the Islamic Republic to conduct "limited peaceful activities" under IAEA supervision. US President Donald Trump previously expressed confidence that the US would receive enriched uranium from Iran. The White House chief also proposed an alternative: burying the uranium in Iran, but under US control. Furthermore, Trump stated that the US would launch further strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities if the Islamic Republic attempted to remove enriched uranium.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he will not consider the war over until enriched uranium is removed from Iran, Tehran ends its support for proxy terror groups, and its ballistic missile capabilities are eliminated.
