In yet another amazing coincidence, just a day after the slimy Democrats blocked a filibuster on the Iran Nuke treaty, Iran has announced that they have found an ‘unexpectedly high’ uranium reserve. Imagine that. If I could make a shocked face ASCII I would. Iran born Valerie Jarrett, the main architect of the Iran nuke treaty was not available for comment. Don’ worry. I’m sure this ‘unexpectedly high’ uranium reserve will be used for peaceful purposes or something.

Iran has reportedly found an unexpectedly high reserve of uranium, following assessment that the country is running low on the nuclear raw material and just days after President Obama essentially secured an international nuclear deal with the rouge nation.
The discovery was reported first by Reuters and based on comments made by Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi to the state news agency IRNA.
“I cannot announce (the level of) Iran’s uranium mine reserves,” Salehi was quoted as saying. “The important thing is that before aerial prospecting for uranium ores we were not too optimistic, but the new discoveries have made us confident about our reserves.”
The international deal with Iran, largely brokered by the Obama administration, slows the country’s nuclear development for nearly a decade in exchange for the lifting of billions of dollars of crippling economic sanctions.
World leaders think Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon, despite Tehran’s denial.
However, Iran under the deal will still be able to pursue a nuclear-development program, for which the uranium could be used.
