That’s the million dollar question here (pun aside): how does the West offer any meaningful and credible economic incentives to Iran?

Even with any sanctions lifting (and we’re some ways away from that), the US and European private sectors cannot be forced to do business with Iran.

Namibia is a major source of mined uranium for worldwide nuclear fuel supply chains. Article also discusses Chinese efforts to enter the mining sector in the country.

Iran has a clear opportunity here to demonstrate its willingness to engage constructively on the nuclear question, if (BIG if) it chooses to do so.

Looks like agreeing to minimal and easily reversible measures like capping enriched U stocks won’t cut it if Iran wants to avoid snapback come October.

In 2023, 27% of enrichment services purchased by US utilities were Russian - up from past years and well above other foreign suppliers.

Inventories will help absorb some impact but this highlights the risks of maintaining dependencies on RU in nuclear supply chains.
