Los Angeles Times: With the help of Brazil’s president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Iran and Turkey have reached a tentative agreement to swap enriched uranium. If the deal goes through, Turkey will receive 1200 kg of 3.5% enriched uranium from Iran. In return, Iran will receive a far smaller amount, 120 kg, of 20% enriched uranium by way of Turkey from the so-called Vienna group: US, Russia, France, and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
