The war on Iran was clearly billed as removing Iran as a nuclear threat to Israel, America and to the world. Existing nuclear bomb facilities were destroyed, the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core) consisting of the mullah government, likely brought to power with the help of the Deep State in America, was mostly also destroyed, and its ability to enrich Uranium removed. In 45 days Trump removed that threat and their radicalized leadership that made Iran the leading terrorist nation in the world although there remains some limited resistance.
Obama was the second most important reason we attacked Iran. I have always said if a conspiracy theory lasts more than five years it is probably not a conspiracy because truth can’t be fully destroyed and any attempt to do so gives life to it. Most of the things thought to be conspiracy theories in 2020 have proven instead to be conspiracy fact.
One such is the The Uranium One Deal, now 16 years old and goes like this. In 2010, Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State under Barack Obama, sold uranium acquired from Wyoming and Utah (20% of America’s supply) to a Russian firm, passing then to Iran, and North Korea. This can be forensically proven or disproven by uranium’s specific isotope signature as having come from America when it is unburied from Trump’s B-2 bomber attack on Iran’s nuclear site Fordow. If so, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama directly gave the Iranians the fuel for a nuclear bomb to be used against Israel or America (X22 Report, hereafter not cited, Ep. 3879b, April 8, 2026, 51:31). Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is defined in the U.S. Constitution as treason.
Nine years ago on October 19, 2017, Trump wrote, “The Uranium Deal to Russia, with Clinton help and Obama administration knowledge, is the biggest story that fake media doesn’t want to follow!” Clandestine, an investigative reporter, asked, “What if the single most damning piece of evidence against the Deep State/Obama administration, was sitting underneath the rubble at Fordow? Uranium” (Ep. 3886b, April 19, 2026, 28:25). Will this evidence be discovered? Trump says yes. “It is now and has been under very exacting satellite surveillance (Space Force). Nothing has been touched from the date of attack” (Ep. 3879b, April 8, 2026, 51:07).
In 2015 under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action “the Obama administration unfroze $100-$150 billion in Iranian assets and sent $1.7 billion in literal cash transfers on pallets to Iran. The official explanation was that this was Iran’s own money part of a decades old settlement from the Shaw era. In reality, it became the single greatest funding injection ever received by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Core, a military and intelligence octopus already controlling the nation’s economy through shell corporations, terror alliances [and] front groups.
“Within months of the payment Iran funneled hundreds of millions to Hezbollah, Hamas, expanding its IRGC cut throat operations across Syria and Iraq and increase funding for Yemen Houthis’ insurgency. They were responsible for targeting civilian ships in the Red Sea. Iranian officials themselves admitted everything from what we eat and drink to our rockets comes from Tehran’s regime coffers [from America], while Iranian cities fell further into poverty, the regime’s war machine booms. Drones, ballistic missiles, and oil smuggling networks began popping up in violation of international sanctions that Obama himself had dismantled.…Neoliberal chaos as a governing strategy via the Obama team: Clinton, Newland, Powers, [and] Rhodes weren’t naïve idealists. They were intentional engineers of this disorder” (Tony Saruba, Ep. 3877b, April 6, 2026, 16:00). Thus—“Barack Obama bears primary responsibility for today’s Middle East crises.” Had he not shipped 1.7 billion dollars in cash to Iran, “they would not have had the funds to build their nuclear, missile, and drone programs – nor to arm Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis” (Saif Alderei Ep. 3873b, March 31, 2026, 16:32).
The $1.7 billion transfer to Iran occurred in early 2016, Obamas last year in office, “with the first $400 million delivered on January 17, 2016 coinciding with Iran’s release of four American prisoners. The remaining $1.3 billion was transferred in installments: $700 million on January 22, 2016 and $600 million on February 5, 2016. These payments were part of a settlement resolving decades – old arbitration claim between the United States and Iran over a failed arms deal from the 1970s” (ChatGPT). The money was first flown “to Switzerland aboard an unmarked, chartered aircraft, and then converted into euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. An Iranian transport aircraft then flew the cash to Iran in three shipments” (ifmat.org).
The consequence of this “aid and comfort” to the enemy was addressed by Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. “Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that were systematically destroyed were PAID FOR by the pallets of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran under the Iran Deal… Iran took our money and turned it into weapons and bunkers and ammo, and now we’re destroying those weapons and were righting. You’re righting, Mr. President, that government’s grievous wrong” (Ep. 3868b, March 26, 2026, 31:21)!
None of this is new to those of us who were on top of this story in 2016 but most of the people were still programed by the Deep State news sources that, if they covered it at all, it was discredited as a conspiracy theory. No one can legitimately do so now.
President Trump made his demands very clear. Iran cannot obtain a nuclear bomb to threaten the United States and Israel and they must turn over the enriched uranium that’s in their possession. He said, “We await their response.” Why must the uranium be returned to the United States? It is a matter of national defense. It has the nuclear footprint needed to connect Obama and Clinton with treason (Rapid Response 47, Ep. 3890b, April 23, 2026, 45:00). Obama should want it returned and evaluated to prove his innocence as the source of Iran’s nuclear bomb fuel.
