JD Vance has suggested Iran’s estimated 400kg (882lb) stockpile of enriched uranium, which is just short of weapons-grade, remains intact despite the recent US bombing campaign against Iran.
On Monday, the vice-president told Fox News that the location of the uranium “is not the question before us”, and said the relevant question was: “Can Iran enrich the uranium to weapons-grade level and can they convert that fuel into a nuclear weapon?”
The Iranian stockpile of uranium was believed to have been located mainly at Isfahan, which houses a conversion facility that turns uranium into the form that can be fed into centrifuges for enrichment.
Yes to both, as of the last I heard that there was no radiation detected after the strikes so the stockpiles were unlikely to be hit.
The mission was a failure and they will continue to use the spectrum of a threat even if they had hit the stockpile.
Assuming the stockpile is even singular in the first place…
I’m pretty sure they started moving it once the missiles from Israel started launching.
