Is American uranium ore going directly into Iranian smelters?
Chances are that American uranium is NOT going “directly into Iranian smelters” but possibly get there through “cut-outs” buyers in others countries including Canada, who then ship it to Iran or another intermediary country.
This reminds me a little about the US shipments of Uranium to the Soviet Union during WW2 which violated shipping protocols. The officer in charge notified the White House of this but was reportedly overridden by FDR’s top advisor Harry Hopkins, who was suspected of being a Soviet operative or at the least, a totally Soviet Union/communist sympathizer.
Believed the US officer’s name was Major Jordan.
