Officials in Turkey say that they “would not say no”, if asked to store Iran’s enriched uranium. There has been a noticeable thaw between the two countries lately, and according to a “Time” article, “The only country who’s not happy with the situation is Israel. The fact that Turkey is talking to Tehran implies that there is an exchange between the U.S. and Iran that [Turkey] is a go-between for.” Indeed, if Turkey is rebranding itself diplomatically as a bridge between the West and the Muslim world, it needs good ties with both.”
