And it is trying to get it from Africa.

IRAN is seeking to import large consignments of bomb-making uranium from the African mining area that produced the Hiroshima bomb, an investigation has revealed.

A United Nations report, dated July 18, said there was “no doubt” that a huge shipment of smuggled uranium 238, uncovered by customs officials in Tanzania, was transported from the Lubumbashi mines in the Congo.

Tanzanian customs officials told The Sunday Times it was destined for the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, and was stopped on October 22 last year during a routine check.

The disclosure will heighten western fears about the extent of IranÂ’s presumed nuclear weapons programme and the strategic implications of IranÂ’s continuing support for Hezbollah during the war with Israel.

When even the UN admits that Iran is seeking this material, there ought to be an outcry from the international communty and the American Left. But they really don't care -- after all, there are Jews to be bashed for defending themselves. Who cares about the actions of a rogue state ruled by a genocidal maniac?
