'Ironclad deal' - Contrary to Obama's claims, Iran increased its nuclear fuel stockpiles. (JPost).
Contrary to the Obama administration’s claims that Iran has frozen its nuclear program, international inspectors discovered recently that the Islamic Republic’s stockpile of nuclear fuel has increased by about 20 percent over the course of the last 18 months, The New York Times is reporting on Tuesday.
The news comes as the P5+1 powers and Iran seek to strike a final status accord with less than one month before the deadline.
The revelations have confounded Western officials who are unsure as to why the Iranians have increased their stockpiles during the course of the negotiations. According to The New York Times, analysts speculate that the Iranians may be seeking a contingency plan should the talks fail to produce an agreement. There is also the possibility that the Iranians have encountered technical problems that have rendered its enriched uranium unusable for weapons.
The bolstered stockpiles were first noticed by International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, according to the Times.
If accurate, it could prove to be another obstacle to the Obama administration’s efforts to convince a skeptical Congress to support a final nuclear agreement with Iran. Hmmmm.....Anyone believing anything from this 'admin' is in serious need of a medical inspection. Read the full story here.
