Israel Claims Intel on Iran’s Enriched Uranium Amid Ongoing Strikes

Recent US and Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, aiming to disrupt its uranium enrichment program, but the fate of Iran's 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% remains uncertain. Experts and officials, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, suggest that Iran may have relocated this stockpile prior to the strikes, potentially preserving the most critical component for nuclear weapon development. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel possesses "interesting intelligence" on the uranium's location and emphasized the necessity of these strikes due to Iran's accelerated nuclear armament and ballistic missile production. Netanyahu also highlighted his communications with US President Donald Trump, affirming coordinated support and shared goals in countering Iran's nuclear ambitions. Despite significant damage inflicted on facilities like Fordow, Iran's leadership signals that their nuclear program continues, with enriched materials and expertise intact, and warns that the conflict is ongoing. Both the US and Israel remain focused on preventing Iran from weaponizing its enriched uranium while balancing regional security concerns and diplomatic efforts.
