Outgoing US President Barack Obama has approved of Iran's latest import of uranium which could be used to build multiple nuclear weapons, so it is good for the world that Obama is leaving office in less than two weeks, US Senator Tom Cotton said in press release on Tuesday.

How Trump's Hardline Stance on Iran Will Affect Tehran's International Trade
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Cotton also noted the latest development is yet another example of how the 2015 Iran nuclear deal championed by Obama is making things worse rather than alleviating the threat of Tehran developing nuclear weapons.

"[N]ow it's [Obama administration] has given its blessing as Iran imports enough uranium for ten nuclear bombs," Cotton stated. "It's a good thing for the world that President Obama's presidency is ending in ten days, because before long we would have been building Iran's centrifuges for it."

On Monday, US State Department spokesman John Kirby said the 2015 nuclear agreement allows Iran to import natural uranium. Kirby noted that in its original form, natural uranium cannot be used in a nuclear weapon.
