US Intel Disputes Iran’s Uranium Evacuation From Fordow Before Strike; Conflicting Claims Cloud Attack’s Effectiveness

US intelligence assessments suggest Iran lacked sufficient time to smuggle enriched uranium out of Fordow before the strike, despite unusual truck activity. IAEA and US officials found no confirmed bulk uranium transfers. However, Israeli officials and Iranian media claim hundreds of kilograms of enriched uranium were relocated underground or to secret sites. The US seeks conflict resolution, while Israel wants to press its advantage, creating divergent motives. If US intel is right, the uranium was hit; if not, Iran’s threat remains, possibly justifying Israel’s ongoing campaign.
