According to a report by the Financial Times, preliminary intelligence assessments provided to European governments indicate that Iran's stockpiles of enriched uranium remain largely intact following recent US strikes on key nuclear sites.

Source: Financial Times, citing two unnamed officials, relayed by "European Truth".

Details: As stated by the sources, intelligence data suggests that Iran's reserves of 408 kg of uranium, enriched to near military levels, were not concentrated at Fordow, one of the two main enrichment sites. They were reportedly distributed across various locations.

These findings cast doubt on President Donald Trump's claims that the bombings "destroyed" Iran's nuclear program.

Sources noted that EU governments are still awaiting a full intelligence report on the extent of damage inflicted on the Fordow facility, which is built deep within a mountain near the sacred city of Qom. According to them, one previous report indicated "significant damage, but not complete destruction".

Iranian officials hinted that the enriched uranium stockpiles may have been moved prior to the US bombings, which took place following a series of Israeli strikes.

Trump dismisses the preliminary assessments from US intelligence that leaked to the media, which suggest that Iran's nuclear program was set back only a few months due to the bombings.

The Israeli Atomic Energy Commission stated this week that, according to their estimates, the strikes by the US and Israel "set Iran back many years in its development of nuclear weapons".

However, experts warned that if Tehran has retained its enriched uranium stockpiles and installed modern centrifuges at hidden sites, it may still have the capacity to produce fissile material needed for weaponization.
