The Islamic Republic of Iran has been making headlines with its recent purchase of 300 tons of refined uranium from Niger in a secret deal, fueling concerns about Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. The London-based independent news organization Iran International broke the news about Iran’s clandestine negotiations with Niger’s Junta government, shedding light on the covert agreement.
According to reports, the deal involved the exchange of 300 tons of yellowcake, a concentrated form of uranium used in the production of atomic weapons, for drones and surface-to-air missiles. While Niger’s military regime denied the agreement with Tehran, France-based news organizations confirmed the secret deal.
The disclosure about the Iran-Niger uranium deal comes amidst growing tensions in the region, with former Israeli defense minister Avigdor Liberman warning of Iran’s plans for a nuclear Holocaust targeting Israel. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) member states have also rebuked Iran for its lack of cooperation with agency inspectors.
Furthermore, pro-Iran regime academic Seyed Hossein Mousavian is facing backlash for his alleged involvement in human rights abuses and support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Calls are mounting for his removal from his academic position at Princeton University.
The situation remains tense as Iran continues to enrich uranium to higher levels, raising concerns about its nuclear capabilities. The international community is closely monitoring the developments and weighing its options in response to Iran’s actions.
