        "summary": "Russia proposed taking custody of Iran's highly enriched uranium as a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict, but the US has rejected the offer, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. The proposal, initially put forward by President Vladimir Putin, aimed to address one of Washington's key demands in negotiations to end the war that began on 28 February, involving approximately 450 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium buried under attacked nuclear facilities. Peskov denied Russian military involvement, while Iran's Foreign Minister claimed Moscow provides assistance in various directions, highlighting tensions in international responses to the crisis.",
