The Iranian FM has announced the government’s willingness to export low-enriched uranium in exchange for fuel rods, as long as France delivers the rods first.
Though contradictory statements from Iranian officials are common, this solution seem genuine because it addresses Iran’s fear of losing its nuclear stocks.
Iran, however, has not agreed to stop its uranium enrichment plant upon exporting the nuclear stocks, which is the point of the exchange deal. The stocks-for-rods exchange will make it politically difficult for Israel to attack Iran.
