New York Times: Contradictions between Washington’s statements and its intelligence on Iran’s uranium
The New York Times reported that US intelligence findings regarding Iran’s remaining stockpile of enriched uranium after US and Israeli attacks on its nuclear facilities contradict the Washington administration’s statements on the issue.
This came according to Washington administration officials and informed sources speaking to the New York Times on Thursday about the fate of Iran’s remaining stockpile of enriched uranium.
The officials, whose identities weren’t revealed by the newspaper, confirmed that the intelligence gathered so far regarding the stockpile doesn’t match the US administration’s statements on the issue.
They noted that the sections believed to contain uranium stockpiles at the Natanz nuclear facility targeted by the United States were damaged but not destroyed, contrary to official statements.
Informed sources claimed that US intelligence hasn’t yet reached a definitive conclusion regarding the amount of enriched uranium remaining in Iran.
Following the US attacks, President Donald Trump claimed that the B-2 attacks on Iran’s Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities “totally destroyed” the nuclear enrichment facilities.
