Israel Concludes some Iran Enriched Uranium Survived US Strikes: NYT
IRAN, JUL 10 – Israeli and U.S. strikes damaged Iran's nuclear program but some uranium enriched to 60% purity remains, potentially allowing Iran to rebuild within two years, officials say.
- The New York Times reported on Thursday that some of Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles likely survived recent U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities.
- In mid-June, about 100 locations in Iran were targeted in strikes, encompassing key nuclear sites and military leadership hubs, amid varying assessments about the prior relocation of uranium.
- Israeli officials stated any Iranian attempt to access the buried uranium would be detected and allow time for renewed attacks, while recovery would be very difficult.
- President Trump claimed bunker-busting bombs 'obliterated' Iran's facilities, though assessments vary, with a July Pentagon report stating setbacks of one to two years.
- The survival of uranium suggests Iran's nuclear capabilities remain constrained but not eliminated, implying ongoing monitoring and potential future strikes may continue.
