Medvedev to query Brazil president on enrichment deal with Iran RIA Novosti, PUBLISHED May 17, 2010 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday he was determined to question his Brazilian counterpart about the details of a nuclear fuel swap deal with Iran. The Iranian, Brazilian, and Turkish foreign ministers signed an agreement earlier on Monday on the exchange of low-enriched uranium to fuel Tehran's scientific research reactor. "I hope to have a telephone conversation with my friend and colleague Luiz Lula da Silva, the president of Brazil, this evening. I hope to receive firsthand information," Medvedev said. He added that the new agreements with Iran could require additional consultations. "Urgent consultations are needed with the participation of all parties involved, including Iran," he said. Iran, which has recently been under international pressure to halt uranium enrichment, agreed to swap in Turkey most of its 3.5%-enriched uranium for 20%-enriched fuel for use in its Tehran scientific research reactor.
