IranÂ’s ISNA news agency quoted the Iranian foreign ministryÂ’s spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast as saying that the three ministers would discuss a fuel swap deal that they brokered in May. Under the deal, Iran agreed to send 1,200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium (LEU) to Turkey to be supplied at a later date with high-enriched uranium by Russia and France. |
