Iran set to receive huge shipment of natural uranium from Russia amid lawmakers' concerns

[WorthyNewsBot]

(Worthy News) - Iran is set to receive a massive shipment of natural uranium from Russia -- enough, potentially, for several bombs, diplomats said Monday, highlighting a move that could give the Islamic Republic major leverage if the U.S. tries dismantling the controversial nuclear deal.

The transfer -- which the U.S. and five other world powers that negotiated the nuclear deal approved -- foresees delivery of nearly 130 tons of natural uranium in exchange for giving up tons of reactor coolant, two senior diplomats told The Associated Press. Any natural uranium sent to Iran would still be subject to strict surveillance under the nuclear deal, a senior U.S. official told Fox News.

The transfer needs U.N. Security Council approval but just as a formality, considering five of those powers are permanent Security Council members, the diplomats said. [ Source ]

And if the U.S is concerned we can't do a thing about it because we're not able to inspect to see what's going on. Barack insured the trusty Iranians can inspect themselves. Without signing that treaty.

What a guy.

And what a joke that whole "treaty" was. May Trump rescind it immediately, and impose harsh sanctions on Iran for continuing to have any facilities capable of enriching uranium and developing nuclear weapons. --- Sometimes people ask: "Why not just let Israel bomb Iran into submission?" --- The answer to that is that a senior Israel Defense Forces officer told the Israeli cabinet even back in 2011 that the IDF does not have the ability to hit the Iranian nuclear program in a "meaningful way". This could be because some of the key Iranian nuclear facilities are buried so deep underground (i.e. under mountains) that no bombs dropped from the air (not even the best bunker busters) can get down to them. Also, Iran now has highly-advanced Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missiles guarding its main nuclear-weapons facilities. --- The only way to truly end Iran's nuclear weapons program is to send ground forces into Iran which can fight their way down into its nuclear facilities and blow them up with hand-placed plastic explosives. But there are so many different facilities scattered in so many different places across Iran that it would take an all-out ground invasion of Iran in order to be able to reach all of the facilities, and also to take out Iran's extremist regime, which if it is not removed will (with Russian help) simply rebuild any nuclear facilities which are destroyed, or secretly purchase nukes from North Korea. --- But, in an awful irony, any future U.S. preparations for an all-out Iraqi ground war against Iran, in order to prevent the destruction of Israel by Iranian nukes, could result in the destruction of Israel during a different war, by the very same Iraqi ground forces which had been built up by the U.S. to invade Iran.
