Trump says nothing taken out of Iran's nuclear site, Europeans believe enriched uranium intact
A report from the Financial Times wrote that European leaders said they believe Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile remains largely intact.
US President Donald Trump said nothing was moved from Iranian nuclear facilities targeted by American strikes, echoing his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who earlier on Thursday said he was unaware of any intelligence suggesting Iran had moved its uranium to shield it from US strikes over the weekend.
However, a report from the Financial Times on Thursday wrote that European leaders said they believe Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile remains largely intact following US strikes on its main nuclear sites.
The newspaper, citing two people briefed on preliminary intelligence assessments, said European capitals believe Iran’s stockpile of 408 kilograms of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels was not concentrated in Fordow, one of its two main enrichment sites, at the time of last weekend’s attack.
'A resolute setback to Iran's nuclear program'
On Thursday, Hegseth briefed the Pentagon press corps on the joint US-Israel strikes, calling them a resolute setback to Iran's nuclear program, The Jerusalem Post previously reported.
