Turkey and the UN's nuclear watchdog have confirmed they are discussing a proposal to allow Iran to store some of its enriched uranium in Turkey.
Iran is under international pressure to accept a deal to send its enriched uranium abroad for reprocessing, the BBC reported.
It has so far refused offers by France and Russia to do this and insists its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful.
But the US and Europe say the amounts of uranium Iran is enriching could be used to build a nuclear bomb.
