U.S. Intelligence Says Iran Nuclear Timeline Unchanged After Strikes: Reuters
Analysts say the strikes damaged key sites but left Iran’s stockpile intact, keeping the estimate at up to a year to make a weapon.
- U.S. intelligence assessments indicate Iran's timeline to produce bomb-grade uranium remains nine months to a year, unchanged since last summer despite recent U.S. and Israeli military strikes.
- Recent U.S. and Israeli military campaigns focused on conventional targets and air defenses rather than prioritizing nuclear-related facilities, explaining why the timeline estimate remained unchanged.
- Eric Brewer, vice president of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, said Iran still possesses its nuclear material, likely stored in deeply buried underground sites where U.S. munitions cannot penetrate.
- To significantly impede Iran's efforts, U.S. officials are contemplating dangerous operations, including ground raids to retrieve 440 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium stored at the Isfahan Nuclear Research Center.
- Vice President JD Vance wrote on March 2 that "Iran can never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon," as the U.S. and Iran maintain an April 7 truce amid rising tensions.
