Israel Concludes some Iran Enriched Uranium Survived US Strikes: NYT
IRAN, JUL 10 – Israeli and U.S. strikes damaged Iran's nuclear program but some uranium enriched to 60% purity remains, potentially allowing Iran to rebuild within two years, officials say.
- The New York Times reported on Thursday that some of Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles likely survived recent U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Tehran's nuclear facilities.
- In mid-June, about 100 locations in Iran were targeted in strikes, encompassing key nuclear sites and military leadership hubs, amid varying assessments about the prior relocation of uranium.
- Israeli officials stated any Iranian attempt to access the buried uranium would be detected and allow time for renewed attacks, while recovery would be very difficult.
- President Trump claimed bunker-busting bombs 'obliterated' Iran's facilities, though assessments vary, with a July Pentagon report stating setbacks of one to two years.
- The survival of uranium suggests Iran's nuclear capabilities remain constrained but not eliminated, implying ongoing monitoring and potential future strikes may continue.

After the American and Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear infrastructures, new concerns arose in the circles of Israel's secrets. Despite the damage caused by major installations such as Fordow and Natanz, Israeli assessments now indicate that a significant portion of the enriched uranium, almost at the level of armament and stored in the basement, survived. Worse: This residual 'stock' can remain accessible to Iranian engineers.
