Hilary Clinton gave Iranians uranium.
Analysis
The claim that Hillary Clinton gave uranium to Iranians is a distortion rooted in conspiracy theories primarily connected to the Uranium One deal and the Iran nuclear agreement. While Clinton, as Secretary of State, was involved in diplomatic efforts including the Iran nuclear deal and had a role in the review process of the Uranium One transaction, she did not personally authorize or transfer uranium to Iran. The Iran nuclear deal actually imposed strict limits on Iran’s uranium enrichment. The Uranium One deal involved Russian acquisition of a Canadian company with uranium assets in the U.S., and Clinton’s State Department was one of nine agencies reviewing the deal; it did not grant Russia ownership of U.S. uranium outright. Multiple fact-checking sources emphasize that no credible evidence supports the claim that Clinton “gave” uranium to Iran, and the claim conflates separate issues and misrepresents her role.
