The uranium trade is a huge subject but the news finds it really popular, right now, to beat down Iran, over it.

Iran was already getting uranium from Russia out of the Novosibirsk chemical concentration plant, smuggled through Georgia in small, expensive quantities.

In fact, some of this smuggled uranium was caught by Georgian authorities, who prosecuted the smuggler but, because of Russia's lack of cooperation, they failed to convict properly. They asked the US for help and sent the US a sample. Mueller hand delivered this sample back to Russia, destroying the trail of evidence, leaving Iran free to continue.

Novosibirsk was making HEU just below weapons grade. This makes it easier for the recipient to make it full weapons grade.

Iran has surpassed their agreed upon reserves which means they are much closer to energy independence.

Saudi Arabia wanted a few nuclear power plants built and Bechtel and Rosatom entered a bidding war that the media wanted Russia to win. (Oh noes Suadi Arabia gets nuclear secrets arrrghhhh). Rosatom, thanks to Hillary, Alexander Downer and Prince Charles taking bribes, is taking control of uranium across the world and has put us at odds in Venezuela. Tulsi Gabbard was on this pro-Russia uranium train so no matter what the media says, fuck her.

What Iran's uranium situation means is that they are after energy independence and nobody else wants that.

Keep in mind, the US had thorium salt reactors working in the 60s and were shut down by Johnson because Isreal decided uranium was the way to go, given the weaponization possibilities. The world has the technology and could easily implement thorium salt reactors. In fact, tons and tons of thorium have been discarded immediately outside of uranium mines and is ready to be put to use.

The literal criminal conspiracy here (not a theory, but the legal defintion) is that energy is kept expensive intentionally; aka "price fixing."

I'm not very sympathetic to the Iranians, or, especially the Iranian government, but I would say that there is more hear than meets the ear.
