Russia has expressed its willingness to transport Iran's surplus nuclear material to help advance the Iran nuclear talks.

June 11 (Reuters) -- Russia on Wednesday said it was willing to ship Iran's nuclear materials away and turn them into fuel in a way that would help narrow the U.S.-Iran divide over Iran's nuclear program. Ryabkov, Russia's deputy foreign minister for arms control and relations with the United States, told Russian media on Wednesday that efforts should be redoubled to reach a solution, and that Moscow is willing to help in ideas and practical ways. "We are ready to help both Washington and Tehran, not only politically, and not limited to ideas that may be useful during the negotiation process, but at a practical level: for example, exporting the excess nuclear materials produced by Iran, which will then be used in the production of reactor fuel." The United States wants Iran to ship all of its highly enriched uranium (HEU) away. Tehran, on the other hand, said that only excess HEUs that exceeded the limits set in the 2015 agreement should be shipped out.
