WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- For the first time in nearly a decade, Iran doesn't have the materials needed to make a nuclear weapon -- even if it wanted to.
U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry announced Monday that a Russian container ship has hauled away almost all of Iran's low-enriched uranium -- the fuel required to build nuclear warheads and atomic bombs. The handover fulfills one of the biggest provisions of the July accord struck between Tehran and a U.S.-led coalition known as 5+1.
