Iran could resume uranium enrichment in ‘matter of months,’ IAEA chief says
There’s able to and there’s permitted, which they should consider carefully [IsraelTimes] UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi says Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate likely will be able to begin to produce enriched uranium "in a matter of months," despite damage to several nuclear facilities from US and Israeli attacks, CBS News says. If the bombs were effective, he’s pretty much out of a job, which is unthinkable. Therefore the bombs must not have been effective., amirite? Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the extent of the damage to the nuclear sites is "serious," but that the details are unknown, while US President Donald Trump...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... insists Iran’s nuclear program has been set back "decades." But Grossi, the director general of the ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency, says "some is still standing." "They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that," Grossi said Friday, according to a transcript of the interview released Saturday. Another key question is whether Iran was able to relocate some or all of its estimated 408.6-kilo (900-pound) stockpile of highly enriched uranium before the attacks. The uranium in question is enriched to 60 percent — above levels for civilian usage but below weapons grade. That material, if further refined, would theoretically be sufficient to produce more than nine nuclear bombs. Grossi admitted to CBS: "We don’t know where this material could be." "So some could have been destroyed as part of the attack, but some could have been moved. So there has to be, at some point, a clarification," he says in the interview. For now, Iranian politicians voted to suspend cooperation with the IAEA and Tehran rejected Grossi’s request for a visit to the damaged sites, especially Fordo, the main uranium enrichment facility, which was struck by the US last Sunday. "We need to be in a position to ascertain, to confirm what is there, and where is it and what happened," Grossi said. US says it monitored all Iran nuke sites before strike and didn’t see any enriched uranium moved [IsraelTimes] White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the US was monitoring all of Iran’s nuclear facilities — not just the main underground one at Fordo — in the days leading up to its strike on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities and did not identify any enriched uranium being moved out of the facilities. Trump says nothing was taken out of Iran nuclear facility [IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump says nothing was moved from an Iranian nuclear facility, echoing his defense secretary who earlier today said he is unaware of any intelligence suggesting Iran had moved its uranium to shield it from US strikes over the weekend. “The cars and small trucks at the site were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts. Nothing was taken out of facility. Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!” Trump, without providing evidence, writes on his social media platform. No known intelligence that Iran moved uranium, US defense chief says [IsraelTimes] US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he is unaware of any intelligence suggesting Iran had moved any of its highly enriched uranium to shield it from US strikes on Iran’s nuclear program over the weekend. “I’m not aware of any intelligence that I’ve reviewed that says things were not where they were supposed to be, moved or otherwise,” Hegseth says.
