The bombshell speech given by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner at the UN was not widely aired.
The Argentine President stated that a former White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction under Obama secretly inquired if Argentina would supply Iran with nuclear fuel. This all ties into the nuclear deal Iran finally won from the US with total UN blessing.
U.S. media mostly ignored this. It made Obama look like what he is: a traitor and a liar. At this point, he things he has gotten away with it and that it won’t come back to bite him later. While he may not face prison, he certainly has set his legacy as the worst and most destructive and dangerous president this nation has seen.
Well, this is big news…why keep it secret?
What reasons would Obama risk the US being caught brokering a nuclear fuel deal for Iran? Move to the second page:
Not my potus. Besides, nothing will become of it. Look at hillary
This lady claims she spoke briefly with an representative of Obama Administration, but there was nothing ever in writing. She says that he says b******t.
I hope they can make it stick
First of all, Bill Vinson, this “revelation” is over a year old. Since there are essentially no follow-up reports on this after 2015, a logical person would assume that there was no illicit or illegal action associated with the request.
And it WAS part of a broader effort to get Iran to reduce its weaponized nuclear material.
Samore himself stated in 2015:
“Story is true that I went to Buenos Aires in August 2009 to ask Foreign Minister Timmerman if Argentina would be willing to manufacture fresh fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor in exchange for Iran shipping most of its stockpile of low enriched uranium to Russia.
As I recall, Minister Timmerman told me that Argentina could not participate in the project because of Iran’s refusal to cooperate in the AMIA investigation. I said that I understood the political sensitivities and accepted that Argentina could not be part of the project.
We subsequently approached France, which agreed to manufacture the fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor.
In October 2009, Iran agreed to the deal: Iran would ship 1,200 kilograms of low enriched uranium hexafluoride (less than 5%) to Russia; Russia would further enrich the uranium to 19.5% and ship it to France for fabrication into research reactor fuel, which would then be shipped to Iran.
From Washington’s standpoint, the objective of the agreement was to remove most of Iran’s low enriched uranium stockpile at that time and therefore make it more difficult for Iran to produce weapons grade enriched uranium.
In the end, Supreme Leader Khamenei rejected the Tehran Research Reactor agreement and the deal fell through. Iran’s rejection of the deal lead directly to President Obama deciding to increase economic and political pressure on Tehran, which produced UNSC Resolution 1929 in June 2010.”

Perhaps you’re one of those sheltered individuals who thinks that global geopolitics is a clean and easy game, or that you or I or any average citizen has even the VAGUEST idea of the complexities of that arena. That’s a pity.
There’s nothing to see here. In exchange for an attempt to get a hostile State to deplete its stockpile of weaponized material, the U.S. tried to broker a deal to provide NON-weapons-grade nuclear fuel for energy production (which even Argentina’s President said she’s in favor of producing during this same speech). Sounds like a smart play to me.
But of course, in the Conservative, Obama-hating mind, it’s made out to be sinister. Because you people have neither the intelligence, vision, or courage to imagine the cold, hard, terrifying level of negotiation it takes to seek victory in the real world.
You’re the type of people would have been screaming for FDR’s impeachment when he brokered an alliance with Stalin to defeat Germany in the ’40s. Grow up.
