#4 Might be able to work with Russia on this.

Russia wants to sell its own reactor ready fuel and have its own people run the reactor(s).

Its true that Iran has sources of Uranium but they may be so low grade as to require five or ten times as much work with the centrifuges (which is a big draw of electricity).

#5 The 0.7% of U235 is constant, whatever the grade of ore.

Whether high or low grade, all ore gets processed to yellowcake. It is that which is fed to the centrifuges, not the ore.

With low grade ore, the crushing and chemical leaching just takes longer to produce the intermediate yellowcake since more ore is required.
