‘Nothing has been taken’: Trump beyond the attack to transfer uranium from Trump atomic sites on Iran; ‘Very dangerous to move forward’
US President Donald Trump on Thursday dismissed all the reports and claims that Iran had shifted the uranium stock pile from its nuclear sites before the strike from the US. Calling it “very dangerous to move”, Trump said in a post on Truth Social, “Car and small trucks on the site were of concrete workers who were trying to cover the top of the shaft. Nothing was taken out of the facility. Very long, very dangerous, and very heavy and difficult to move! ,US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also denied any intelligence on the same and said, “I do not know about any intelligence that I reviewed that things say they were not where they were going to happen, transferred or otherwise.”

The impact of the US strike came under the radar after several experts claimed that Iran has shifted its stockpile near the high-rich uranium of arms-grade from the Fordo facility, possibly hidden it with other nuclear ingredients on unknown unknown sites for Israel, USA and United Nations Nuclear Inspectors.Satellite imagery from Maxu Technologies revealed 16 trucks stationed outside the Fordo Promotional Facility ahead of the US air strike. The deeper site within a mountain has long been seen as resistant to most missile attacks. According to Israeli officials, trucks were used to transport uranium out of convenience before bombing. Two Israeli intelligence sources told The New York Times that Iran, estimating the strike, was rich in about 400 kg (about 880 pounds) of uranium with 60% purity. This material, which was previously stored in an atomic complex near Isfahan, was allegedly contained in small pipes that could fit in standard vehicles.Rafael Gosi, head of the United Nations Atomic Sentinel, said the last time IAEA inspectors noticed that there was a nuclear fuel before the Israeli air strike started. After the attacks, the Iranian authorities stopped all inspections citing the situation of war.The current hideouts of uranium are unknown, and Iranian authorities have neither confirmed nor denied reports. However, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Sunday that 60% of Iran’s highly rich uranium wholesale was transferred to a secret place before the US strike.
