Israel Says Iran Could Reach Enriched Uranium at a Nuclear Site Hit by US
IRAN, JUL 10 – Israeli officials confirm 400 kilograms of enriched uranium survived strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, raising concerns over Iran’s ability to resume nuclear weapons development within months.
- On June 22, 2025, the United States conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites: Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow, targeting uranium enrichment facilities.
- These strikes were part of a joint US-Israeli campaign aimed at dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities amid concerns over uranium enrichment and after a diplomatic deadline set by President Trump elapsed.
- While US officials, including President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, claimed the strikes obliterated the sites, assessments reveal significant damage but incomplete destruction with enriched uranium stocks likely still buried at these locations.
- Rafael Grossi, director of the IAEA, indicated that while the Iranian sites involved in uranium processing have suffered significant damage, some capabilities remain intact. He emphasized that it is inaccurate to say the sites have been completely wiped out, and Iran retains the ability to restart uranium enrichment if it decides to do so.
- The partial destruction and remaining uranium stocks imply Iran might eventually recover some capabilities, and President Trump indicated further strikes could be considered if new intelligence warrants action.
