TEHRAN, Jul. 08 (MNA) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says that Moscow is ready to assist Tehran in refilling its depleted uranium stocks.

The top Russian diplomat made the remarks at the BRICS group member states summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"Russia has technological solutions for uranium depletion and is ready to work with Iran in this field: "As far as Russia is concerned, we are not talking about mediation here. <…> We have technological capacities and we are ready to offer them, taking the excess of overly enriched uranium and returning the power-generation-grade uranium to the Islamic Republic and its nuclear facilities," TASS quoted Lavrov as saying.

While the Zionist regime waged a war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran’s military, nuclear and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan on June 22.

The Iranian military forces conducted powerful counterattacks immediately after the aggression. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.

Also, in response to the US attacks, Iranian armed forces launched a wave of missiles at al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 has brought the fighting to a halt.
