Iran has expressed its willingness to swap its low enriched uranium stocks with nuclear fuel in Turkey as part of a confidence building deal with global powers.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told state television that Tehran “does not have a problem with Turkish soil” as the location for the exchange. “Exchange is acceptable,” he said. “They [West] have to do the trust-building, and then it is pursuable”. “The ball is in their own court, they should answer us,” he said. “Threat and sanctions are useless.”"
