Israel admits some of Iran’s underground uranium stockpile SURVIVED Trump’s blitz and threatens to strike bases again

ISRAEL says some of Iran’s highly-enriched near weapons-grade uranium stockpile survived US bombings during the 12-Day War last month.

Doubts remained about whether Iran quietly removed 408.6 kgs of uranium from its most sensitive sites before the strikes – potentially hiding nuclear material elsewhere in the country.

The uranium in question is enriched to 60 per cent – way above levels for civilian usage but slightly below weapons-grade.

That material, if further refined to 90 per cent, would.

An Israeli official said some of the uranium stockpile survived the US and Israeli bombings last month, according to The New York Times.

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, did not express concern about the remaining stockpile and said any attempt to recover it would be detected by the Israeli intelligence.

They also said that Israel would have enough time to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities again if the regime tries to recover it.
