“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Monday that it has discovered uranium traces at an undeclared site in Iran…The agency detected natural uranium particles of anthropogenic origin at a location in Iran not declared to the agency.”
Those who signed on to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (Iran Deal) were naive at best. Why would anyone believe the jihadist state of Iran?
Two months ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that “Iran had been developing nuclear weapons at a secret site near the city of Abadeh, but that Tehran destroyed the facility after learning it had been exposed.”
Netanyahu also warned that Iran “had conducted secret nuclear-weapons experiments” over the summer.
“IAEA discovery of uranium particles raises questions on scope of Iran’s nuclear program,” by Jackson Richman, Jewish News Service, November 11, 2019:
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Monday that it has discovered uranium traces at an undeclared site in Iran.
“The agency detected natural uranium particles of anthropogenic origin at a location in Iran not declared to the agency,” according to the IAEA report, reported AFP.
The traces have been deemed to be a uranium product that has been mined and partially processed, but not enriched.
The IAEA report verifies such allegations made by the United States and Israel.
“Recent reports about the latest IAEA findings add important color to the Iranian nuclear drama that is unfolding. Iran’s overarching strategy is incremental escalation, which is designed to heighten fears and raise costs overtime,” Behnam Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JNS. “This is true for regional, as well as their nuclear, escalation, which we are watching in real time with the resumption of enrichment at the Fordow bunker and the introduction of advanced centrifuges earlier than permitted at another facility.”
Barbara Slavin, who leads the Atlantic Council’s Future Iran Initiative, said that the Trump administration is to blame for the development by withdrawing in May 2018 from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal.
“Nothing that has been discovered shows that Iran had a structured nuclear-weapons program after 2003 or that it violated the terms of the JCPOA in any way prior to U.S. unilateral withdrawal and reimposition of sanctions,” she told JNS. “That said, Iran clearly warehoused documents and equipment from the program, and has never admitted to the IAEA that its earlier efforts had weapons as a possible goal.”…
Abraham says
Bullshit, Iran never stopped attempting to build Nuclear weapons under the city of Tehran which started whil the treaty was in place. Iran will lie no matter what because in Islam it’s ok to lie in treaties as long as it furthers Islam. When will the West besides Trump finally understand that Muslim run nations will always lie if it furthers Islam and their world goals of implementating Islam across the globe.
The weakneed Europeans and the rest of the far-left just don’t get there is a Christian holocaust going on right now all over the middle east and Africa. Even in the Phillipines where the population is 95% Christian, the muslims use terror attacks on a regular basis to get what they want. We need to send them back to the middle east and keep them there. They don’t work here in the US and think we should take care of them. There is a 60% unemployment rate for Muslims in the US where we have no unemployment basically at 3%. They could work but they believe that is for for second class citizens which they think is us.
Ship them back home. Especially the senator who married her brother, denies the holocaust and supports terrorism everywhere. She has committed tax fraud and will be found guilt of tax evasion and immigration fraud, thrown in prison and the deported.
By by to one example of far these war mongers will go while the left tries to disarm its citizen so we cant fight back against a government completely run amok.

So Iran is still laboring under the illusion that it will be embraced as the leader of all Muslims, especially now when it has another Sunni rival Turkey entering the fray? Why would Sunni groups that are not supported by the Saudis or the Arab League turn to Khamenei for inspiration, when Erdogan is there?
Frank Anderson says
I think a short course in Uranium might help cut through the smoke, not from the writer of the article, but the smoke artists in the IAEA who are paid NOT to do a job. All Uranium has 92 protons and a varying number of neutrons, which is the reason for the range of atomic weights of chemically identical Uranium from 233 to 238. Natural Uranium is about 99.3 percent U-238, which is not fissionable until it receives another neutron and transmutes, almost instantly into Plutonium 239. Thorium 232, which according to some estimates is 3 times more plentiful than Uranium, can be bred the same way into Uranium 233, which is also fissionable, but over a much longer period of time than the Uranium-Plutonium transmutation.
I think, and always welcome better information, that two possibilities exist to fit the confusing description of “man-made Uranium”. Either it is transmuted Thorium, or it is enriched Uranium, made by removing U-238 from natural Uranium and increasing the concentration of fissionable U-235. Fissionable means that the atoms can be split to release energy either in a bomb or a reactor. As reactors are for the most part ridiculously expensive, I would not care or worry about that use, EXCEPT for the fact that any nuclear reactor using Uranium as fuel produces Plutonium as a direct and natural consequence of its operation. A fair estimate is that enough Plutonium is produced each year in a generally standard power reactor to make between 25 and 50 atomic bombs, which are also used as Hydrogen Bomb triggers.
Pretending Iran does NOT have nuclear weapons right now is delusional. They fund and participate in North Korea’s bomb and missile programs. It makes no sense for them to announce they have nuclear weapons by a test in their own country when conducting the same tests in North Korea gives them “plausible deniability”. Unless there is absolutely reliable human intelligence, a really big wish, the assumption they do not is as fantastic as the British listening to German agents pretending to be British agents in WWII. As before WWII, Neville Chamberlain was so desperate to avoid war that he ignored everything Hitler was doing leading to war. The lesson of the past is being ignored today. To me the bottom line is the IAEA is being paid to prevent us knowing that Iran is doing what it is doing and has been doing for decades.

Frank Anderson,
Thanks for the update on uranium! I think I picked up most of it – after reading it three or four times…
I took the usual premed physics / chemistry in undergrad, and some radiation health courses courtesy of the US Navy focusing mainly on the health effects of ionizing radiation. That’s about it.
I agree that the United States should operate on the assumption that Iran already possesses nuclear weapons. I never really considered the possibility that they could be testing their very own nuclear weapons via North Korea, but it makes sense. Plausible deniability…
I too, have little faith in the IAEA…
Frank Anderson says
J.L. a quick way to learn more is to go to the US Government Printing Office and buying the current edition of The Effects of Nuclear Weapons. I did during law school at the suggestion of a nuclear trained classmate 40+ years ago. I actually read the book. A short trip to a well-known graduate program for an unsuccessful attempt at a nuclear engineering education helped. But handing and advising contract matters for 4 nuclear units taught a few things that come in helpful. Learning from every source and opportunity can add up. There is too much passing without explanation because people glaze over without trying to think. We are dealing with lying smoke (BS) artists who want to deaden us into a nuclear armed Iran, quite like happened with Europe being deluded into WWII by appeasement. “There will [NOT] be peace in our time!” One promise kept by islam for 1400 years, there will be war, death, slavery, conquest and looting.
Frank Anderson says
J.L. Additional: I am of the opinion that another country partnered many years ago to design construct and test nuclear weapons in the second country’s territory for the same purpose. I HOPE I am correct. You might guess which two countries I have in mind; but I will not tell. How many new ideas have come from any Islamic country or society?
Anjuli Pandavar says
North Korea worked extremely closely with Syrian nuclear scientists and built the Syrian nuclear reactor that Israel destroyed before it became dangerous, just as they had previously achieved with the reactor in Baghdad. I didn’t join all the dots either and am very grateful to Frank. “Axis of Evil” takes on a whole new meaning, or rather, it had that meaning all along and I’m only seeing it now. Does it literally come down to this maxim: the safety of the world is in the hands of Israel? It seems to me that it does.
Frank Anderson says
A.P., “there are no perfect people”; but I have great admiration for the teachings of Judaism and the nation of Israel, no matter what others think of me.

No doubt these iranian ‘holy’ men are using the astonishing mathematical,scientific and engineering insights of their koran,a book of scientific miracles,and definitely not any infidel {Jew-Christian}science….I mean who knew that the koran clearly explains Celestial Mechanics in saying the sun sets in a muddy pool and let’s face it,allah’s claims that the stars are missiles to ward off demons clearly shows the koran’s amazing understanding of Rocket Engineering Technology centuries ahead of where we are today?
For surely al LAH{“the BEST of deceivers” k3:54}is rightly guiding his devout followers,holding them in the palms of his TWO RIGHT HANDS.
Surely the muslim Arab god al LAH{“the BEST of deceivers” k3:54} wouldn’t be deceiving his muslims would he?
Nah.
I wonder what the iranian nuke program’s name is?
Project Abdoooool?

Iran lies to the west …… Is ANYONE, other than Trudeau, Obama and Clinton, on this planet surprised at this news.
The surprise would be if Iran actually told the truth about anything.

FYI’s claims about the superiority of Koranic ICBMs – (Islamic Bull Crap Missiles…) – is patently absurd. It is a well-known fact that your average inter-galactic iman scorned the use of such out-sized infidel fireworks, and much preferred to get about the place on a nice, ordinary, sensible, flying-horse or self-levitating rug.
Indeed, it was this early expertise in raining down bombardment from above – courtesy of some form of aerial Axminster – that gives us our modern term “carpet-bombing”….
(A friend worked with a muslim who seriously believed that the American astronauts had found some feature on the moon that Muhammed had described a bit earlier, thus proving that Muhammed and his horse really had beaten the US to it: I wonder if they found any hoof-prints ? …..
…. in fact – could it have the “giant steps” of a horse that Neil Armstrong spotted ? this could well explain why he thought they were a bit on the range-y side for a human being ??? Behind all that static and crackle, could Mr Armstrong really have been pointing out that: “This is one giant step for a man, but about right for a horse…” ?
Plus the equally well-known fictitious fact that all the rocket-fuel for the Apollo missions was supplied by Mobil, who proved the Koranic-connection when they forgot to remove that give-away picture of Mohammed’s flying horse from the side of the tanker when they were filling-up on the launch-pad….

@PhilCopson
Did you know that some muslims insist Neil Armstrong was a muslim convert?
Did you know that according to the koran,you cannot get into space without allah’s permission?
“O Company of jinn{!} and men,if ye have power to penetrate all religions of the heavens and the earth,then penetrate them!
Ye will never penetrate them save with OUR sanction”
Koran 55 v 33
See how allah sneers!
So,by the koran’s logic,Neil Armstrong must have converted to islam..because the only way he could get into space is by allah’s permission.
……
The year is 1957:there is a spacecraft flying around the earth with a DOG on board called Laika
Given allah’s well know hatred of dogs:how did a DOG get into space?
According to the koran that would only be possible with allah’s permission.
Did Laika too convert to islam?
Did Laika bark the shahada?

International Atomic Energy Agency discovers uranium at undeclared site in Iran
………………..
This should surprise no one.
Walter Sieruk says
This situation of discovery of Uranium hidden in for the construction of nuclear weapons is keeping with the national character of the rough Islamic state of Iran . Therefore that attack, by Iran, should be of no surprise to any informant person, in fact , this fits in with the real legacy of Ayatollah Khomeini who was the Imam who was so powerful that he played large role in the establishment of the current Islamic tyranny of Iran which has the official title of “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” Khomeini had declared “ Jihad or Holy War ,which is for the conquest of [other ] countries and kingdoms , becomes incumbent after the formation of the Islamic State in the presence of the Imam or in accordance with his command. Then Islam makes it incumbent on all males…to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world… those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. The goal of this conquest would be to establish the hegemony of Islamic law.” [1]

Of course there is uranium at the Iranian site!! Anyone not duped by pro-Muslim Obama’s pro-Iran nuclear deal is not surprised by this news. It is Orwellian for Barbara Slavin, director of George Soros’ Atlantic Council’s “Future of Iran Initiative,” to blame Trump for the consequences of Obama’s treasonous Iran deal. Barbara Slavin is the last person any patriotic American should listen to.
Angemon says
Almost as if Trump was right in calling the deal “the worst deal ever negotiated”…
