Iran has discovered an unexpectedly high reserve of uranium and will soon begin extracting the radioactive element at a new mine, the head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation said on Saturday.
The comments cast doubt on previous assessments from some Western analysts who said the country had a low supply and would sooner or later would need to import uranium, the raw material needed for its nuclear program.

Oh and look at that – what’s under that rock – well, well, it appears to be a long range nuke delivery system from China – just magically appeared out of nowhere – shades of Hans Blix!
I will not be voting for Senate Republicans in 2016..(John McCain), but will vote Trump…If every American took the pledge not to vote for any Senators…Only the Crony Capitalists from both sides will determine their Cockroaches… VETO the slime..
Mitch McConnell is a gangster and every Senator knows exactly why they refused to use “Reed’s Nuclear Option” .. Follow the money..
Valerie J & Obama will have Iran to stash all the money they have stolen… Iran has become an industrial banking island.
Some day it will slip out that this lode was discovered long before the treaty was signed and they deliberately delayed the announcement. Not that I blame them for doing that.
My guess is that there is no mine – that it is a cover for imports from Russia or some other ally of Iran.
As the Harper government heads towards defeat, defense of Canada will return to USA interests. Not much has changed in 200 years. A more independent Canada was a threat
not just to the USA but to the Russians and OPEC as well.
Do not take my comment as a critic of the USA but more a observation of the serious lack of ‘guts’ in this country. No matter what the Dippers and Liebels say they will take what crumbs the world has to offer. A lack of integrity and awareness of basic
economics does that.
I doubt I stick around for this swan song.
Ya, found in the basement of Parchin.
Iran is a fairly large country, and uranium deposits are pretty widespread through the Earth’s crust. It would be pretty surprising if Iran had no domestic resource of the stuff. Probably Iran’s geologists have gotten better at finding them, as indeed we have. Remember, that back in the heyday of the pitchblende mining in Uranium city, nobody had a clue that there were vastly greater reserves in the basal sandstone of the Athabaska Basin.
“My guess is that there is no mine – that it is a cover for imports from Russia or some other ally of Iran. ”
Yup. The “ore” is amazingly high grade stuff – to such an extent that no refining is necessary.
“As the Harper government heads towards defeat”…
You’ve been far too influenced by ‘media-it is’; you know the ones owned by the globalist cabal.
The election is far from over, not withstanding the media’s fervent desire to can PM Stephen Harper.
As for the Iranian discovery of uranium; I await the Obama-Nation’s mining aid program to Iran; like Caterpillar sets up an office in Tehran. 🙂

You don’t “find” a mine and you don’t “discover” reserves. Uranium is more common than many people think. The link below includes over 20 pages of listed uranium deposits sorted by country.
Reserves are first proven. Then mines are made.

I am reminded of the US Army in Afghanistan commenting that they had discovered billions of dollars of mineral reserves in that country. All without drilling a single hole.
‘Unexpectedly’.
There’s that word again. I don’t think it means what the media thinks it means.
Hans;
You are possibly right. Media is driving the agenda which was my worst fear when this campaign started. Possibly the CPC has a stretch drive that can carry the day. My riding has been conservative strong since we elected our first Reformer in ’92? What I am seeing on the ground now is a very strong Dipper effort. Polls are showing they are winning. It appears on the ground they might be as well.
I think (and hope) PM Harper has a strategy that will catch all of the opposition totally off-guard (including the media) in the last couple of weeks of the campaign. He has proven himself to be a master strategist in the past, outmaneuvering opponents that make Trudeau and Mulcair look like chumps.
Meanwhile, I’m “putting my money (or at least my time since I have more spare time than money) where my mouth is” and have volunteered to help the local candidate in any way I can.
I am also talking to the undecided voters that I know to show them information that the MSM ignores or out-and-out lies about.
I SERIOUSLY don’t want MY country to be run by lie-berals or dippers.
I love this blog, but it doesn’t help our cause if we only talk to people who already agree with us.

“As the Harper government heads towards defeat..”
What a defeatist attitude to have at this stage of the game.
I see no Dipper support on the ground where I live, which is a rural area, next door to a Liberal stronghold.
With the media working triple overtime to bring down Harper, and even people like John Robson, who could have kept his thoughts to himself until after the election and then written an article entitled: Why I didn’t vote for Harper”, it will be a miracle if Harper can survive.
Negative talk from PC supporters isn’t being helpful. This is the time we need to think, talk and act strong. Suggestion: think about the refugee crises and either Trudeau or Mulcair at the helm. That should give you the jolt you need.
Get your tail out from between your legs and do something. Even if all you do is put a broad smile on your face . Think the Battle of Britain, think the Blitz, and say “Winnie won’t like that defeatist talk, mate.” And, he bloody well wouldn’t.
In 2008 I was called crazy for saying Obama hated the USA and would cause it as much harm as he could.
He gave permission to Iran to have the bomb, now they magically have found loads of Uranium and their Khomenei ( I don’t care how it is spelled ) has started to threaten both the USA and Israel.
Obama is a traitor to the USA and to all of western civilization.
If one day nuclear bombs start dropping Obama will have radioactive blood on his hands.
