Iran Thanks Obama Builds New Nuclear Reactor -’The Contract for 2 Power Plants has been Inked with Russia’
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei

Iran’s mullahs are thanking the Obama administration for agreeing to a nuclear deal — and they’re showing their appreciation by building a new reactor.
Iran’s southern Bushehr province will be the location of a second nuclear reactor constructed this year. Russia has pledged to assist in the building process, the Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday.
“The contract for building two [new] power plants has been inked with Russia and the preliminary steps and their designing have already started,” Ali Akbar Salhi, head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, said Monday, the state-controlled Fars News Agency reported.
The State Department told the Free Beacon in January that the construction of light-water nuclear reactors is not prohibited “in general” by U.N. Security Council resolutions.
“Construction of the third power plant will also start two years after the second power plant will be launched,” Salhi added.
Critics of the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran say billions of dollars in sanctions relief will be used to foment terror across the Middle East and undercut U.S. foreign policy. In response to the July 14 deal, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei vowed to defy U.S. diplomacy in the region.
