Iran says it found unexpected high uranium reserve

"I cannot announce (the level of) Iran's uranium mine reserves. The important thing is that before aerial prospecting for uranium ores we were not too optimistic, but the new discoveries have made us confident about our reserves," Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.
Salehi said uranium exploration had covered almost two-thirds of Iran and would be complete in the next four years.
Uranium can be used for civilian power production and scientific purposes, but is also a key ingredient in nuclear weapons.
When Iran builds the bomb, will Israel be forced to have Nuclear-equipped bombers continuously aloft, in case Iran launches a surprise attack?

There's that word again: "unexpected" used as an adjective instead of adverbially: "unexpectedly."

Like whenever the jobs numbers dip, they do so unexpectedly.

Just a cover for importing from elsewhere. Wonder what the level of U-235 is?

Not only did they not use any lube, they didn't even let His Poutiness take off his pants.

Probably ruined the crease.
