Iran Nuke Deal--Russia Carts Off Half Of Iran's Enriched Uranium [Video,Picture]

Iran has taken a major step toward implementation of its nuclear deal with the United States and other world powers. On Monday, a Russian ship departed Iran carrying nearly all of Iran’s supply of low-enriched uranium. State Department spokesperson Mark Toner hailed the step.

Mark Toner: “One of the most important steps occurred earlier today when a ship departed Iran for Russia carrying over 25,000 pounds of low-enriched uranium materials. This shipment alone more than triples the previous—our previous two-to-three-month estimated breakout time for Iran to acquire enough weapon-grade uranium for one weapon. So this is an important piece of the technical equation, as it ensures an eventual breakout time of at least one year by implementation day.”   surce
