The Iranian government claims it has discovered a massive deposit of lithium, potentially holding 8.5 million tons of the rare element.

Mohammad Hadi Ahmadi, an official at Iran’s Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, announced the discovery on Iranian state television. He added that this was the first lithium deposit found in the mountainous Hamedan province in the west of Iran.

If the 8.5 million-ton estimate is accurate, this means Iran now holds the second-largest lithium reserve in the world. It will be the largest deposit outside of South America, second only to a 9.2 million-ton deposit in Chile. With global lithium reserves estimated at 89 million tons, Iran may now possess almost one tenth of the world’s lithium supply.

I wonder if the most powerful and popular president ever is going to be able to sustain simultaneous wars with Russia, China, Mexico, Syria and Iran with his LGBTQAI+ .mil.

I heard the the Russians, the Chinese and Iranian armies are terrified. They fear going into combat against American soldiers because our government prepares them for battle by making them shower with transgenders.

We can always bomb their frontlines with pallets of $100 bills. Their soldiers will break ranks and run to the nearest mall or car dealership.
