It would very rapidly decompose into uranyl fluoride, even in the fairly
dry air of Iran.  It's very aggressive.

"When released to the atmosphere, gaseous UF6 combines with humidity
to form a cloud of particulate UO2F2 and HF fumes. The reaction is very
fast and is dependent on the availability of water vapor. Following a
large-scale release of UF6 in an open area, the dispersion is governed by
meteorological conditions, and the plume could still contain unhydrolyzed
material even after traveling a distance of several hundred meters. After
hydrolysis, UO2F2 can be deposited as a finely divided solid, while HF
remains as part of the gas plume."

Still, something else for the Arab world to remember you by.
