Obama Admin Gives Green Light for Iran to Build Two New Nuclear Plants
Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 12, 2016 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 08/12/2016 7:37:58 AM PDT by maggief

Iran is permitted to pursue the construction of two newly announced nuclear plants under the parameters of last summer’s nuclear agreement, Obama administration officials informed the Washington Free Beacon, setting the stage for Tehran to move forward with construction following orders from President Hassan Rouhani.

Ali Salehi, Iran’s top nuclear official, announced on Thursday that Iran has invested $10 billion into the construction of two new nuclear plants after receiving orders from Rouhani, according to reports in Iran’s state-controlled media.

A State Department official said to the Free Beacon following the announcement that Iran is allowed to move forward with this venture under the nuclear agreement, which does not prohibit this type of nuclear construction.

“The [nuclear deal] does not prevent Iran from pursuing new light-water reactors,” a State Department official not authorized to speak on record said to the Free Beacon in response to questions about Iran’s latest announcement. “Any new nuclear reactors in Iran will be subject to its safeguards obligations.”

Critics in Congress of the Obama administration’s diplomacy with Iran condemned the new nuclear reactors, telling the Free Beacon that the administration is turning a blind eye to the Islamic Republic’s continued pursuit of illicit nuclear technology, including the know-how to build a nuclear weapon.

IMO ... old news.

They got that go 'head the moment the usurper was in office.

They knew they had, not only AN insider .... but THE insider on their side.

This is actually a good thing in one respect — bombing a nuke power plant will spread radiation for miles making the surrounding area uninhabitable for hundreds of years. Just like a dirty bomb.

Lets hope that they build them near major cities.

There’s nothing to worry about. As long as the Iranians are using their nuclear program for peaceful purposes, well then, all righty. /sarc

Dirty bombs are really not that dirty you know. The waste from a modern nuclear plant decays after 30 or 40 THOUSAND YEARS is all.

It will be, and by design, much less than 11 years before Iran is building and deploying nuclear ICBMs. Sultan Barak Hussein is working with the Mullahs to bring Iran on line as soon as politically possible. That is surely the Sultan’s goal. It would not surprise me terribly- I don’t expect it to happen, but- if Hussein manages to somehow give Iran a couple of ICBMs before the end of the year or at least pass to Iran the technological nohow to allow them to build them very quickly without having to go through further development (he has a precedent in B Clinton’s sale/gift of MIRV technology to China). The Sultan of DC is Sunni but not averse to using the Shia to further the Moslem goal of achieving a 100% Moslem humanity. The Sunni overwhelming majority can deal with the SHIA and Alawite and other heresies after.

The next nuclear war is meant to achieve two goals, one each of two for-the-moment allied totalitarian organizations currently running America i.e. the Left and the Moslems. The Left dreams of a depopulated world with 50 to 100 million leftists living in a Global Park with all the technology intact in their enclaves and all the rest of the world in its wild natural state for their enjoyment. The Moslems dream of a totally Moslem world that will be necessarily also depopulated but the Global Park for them is to be a Global Sheep Pasture with technology a little more advanced than lithic era.

The muslim world - the dream you mention is the Sunni version lead by SA et all.

The 12er Shiia version is quite different and led by Iran’s ruling click . This dream also consists of depopulating the earth of humans - all the way to Zero with the last two Shiia required to kill each other.

To make that dream possible, Iran needs as many nuclear weapons and launch vehicles as possible. When the optimal amount is reached, they will launch at various targets around the world hopefully in such a manner as to trigger other nations launching on each other. In that way, all of human kind will be brought to Paradise.

We love life, they love death - never forget.

“The Left dreams of a depopulated world with 50 to 100 million leftists living in a Global Park with all the technology intact in their enclaves and all the rest of the world in its wild natural state for their enjoyment.”

If the quoted text is what is truly believed, then the reality is that the left understands next to nothing regarding nuclear devastation.
