In what amounts to an 11th hour "gift" by the outgoing Obama administration to Tehran's leadership to keep the country, which on Sunday was involved in yet another shooting incident with a US destroyer, content and compliant with Obama's landmark "Nuclear deal", the AP reported that Iran is to receive a huge shipment of natural uranium from Russia to compensate it for exporting tons of reactor coolant. The move was approved by the outgoing U.S. administration and other governments "seeking to keep Tehran committed to a landmark nuclear pact."
AP cites two senior diplomats who said that the transfer which was recently agreed by the U.S. and five other world powers that negotiated the nuclear deal with Iran, foresees delivery of 116 metric tons (nearly 130 tons) of natural uranium. U.N. Security Council approval is needed but a formality, considering five of those powers are permanent Security Council members, they said.
The swap is in compensation for the approximately 40 metric tons (44 tons) of heavy water exported by Iran to Russia since the nuclear agreement went into effect. Another 30 metric tons have gone to the U.S. and Oman.
While Uranium can be enriched to levels ranging from reactor fuel or medical and research purposes to the core of an atomic bomb, Iran has claimed it has no interest in such weapons and its activities are being closely monitored under the nuclear pact to make sure they remain peaceful. As we reported at the time, Tehran previously received a similar amount of natural uranium in 2015 as part of negotiations leading up to the nuclear deal, in a swap for enriched uranium it sent to Russia. But the new shipment will be the first such consignment since the deal came into force a year ago.

Barry is a butt boy for any Muslim in robes and a funny hat.
Exactly! What does Obama have to do to be considered a traitor, hand them a 10 MT nuclear warhead and a B-2 to deliver it?!
In the Army, we called this “setting your buddy up for failure”.
This is another effort to assure the destruction of Israel, one thing all Muslim sects agree on. Obama is committed to that goal.
I am damned near speechless. Obama could wear a T-shirt that says “I’m a traitor” and the asswipe media would say that he was just making a fashion statement. I may be reaching for the stars here, but I hope with everything in me that Trump gets the goods on this monster and has him imprisoned or better yet, executed.
Why do I think Huma and/or ValJar had a lot to do with this?
First he gives the bearded wackos a treaty, without consulting Congress, that gives them the ability to create nuclear bombs to bomb Israel, then he gives the towelhead throwbacks 1 billion or so in various currencies, then he sends them some uranium.
The president betrayed his country and Israel. He is a traitor.
COMPLETELY certifiable and out of control!
The reason he’s built up the Iranian islamonazi dictatorship’s nuclear icbm arsenal is because USA is the mullahs’ number one “Great Satan” target for destruction.
I wish wiki would spill their beans!
And Traitorcongress will still do............................................................................................... NOTHING!
Most successful and accomplished democrat POTUS ever in his attempt to destroy the US because of most stupid electorate. Elections have consequences. And there are still enough RATs who glamorize this guy.
Okay, i do not put it past Iran but if they wipe out Israel they wipe out “palistine” and certainly a counter attack
likely including Mecca and the Green Dome.
I’m concerned about Israel, but also concerned with my nephews and nieces dying in NY because Iran would LOVE to give away a bomb to terrorists.
This is also a sober reminder that while we have some common enemies with Russia, they’ve got Iran’s back and are not our friends.
We shall see who Putin favors more when Trump blows the first ####ing Iranian vessel to kingdom come.
Val does favors for the Iranians. Huma does favors for the Saudis. Real simple.
He is only PRESIDENT, not KING.
WHY is congress allowing this???
They’re as filthy in it as he is as far as I’m concerned.
Hang them ALL.
ValJar yes Huma not so much. Shia vs Sunni thing.
Instead of Huma more likely Hillary as SOS clearing the way for Canadian company Uranium Ore run by Frank Giustra to get bought by Russia. Uranium Ore had mining concessions that ran about 20% of the US supply. HRH would sign off for a price.
