Russia has offered to help convert Iran’s stockpiles of weapons-ready uranium to fuel-grade material in order to move along a potential Iran-U.S. nuclear deal, Reuters reported Wednesday. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russian media that the Kremlin would step up its efforts to help reach a deal addressing Iran’s nuclear ambitions,

The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program.

Israeli forces then struck Iran’s state-run television station during a live broadcast.
