Iran secretly relocated its 400 kg stockpile of 60% enriched uranium to an undisclosed location before the U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear facilities.Unusual Truck Activity at FordowIn the days leading up to the strikes, satellite imagery revealed a convoy of 16 cargo trucks lined up along the main road leading to the tunnel entrance of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant.This was highly unusual, as such large-scale vehicle activity had not been observed before, suggesting preparations to transport sensitive materials.The following day, most of the trucks had disappeared from the site, while a few were spotted about a kilometer away from the tunnel entrance.The scale and timing of this movement strongly indicated the removal of critical assets—most likely the enriched uranium.Additional satellite images showed trucks and bulldozers positioned near the main tunnel entrances.Some vehicles appeared to be involved in sealing off the tunnels, likely in an effort to prevent inspection or further attacks.These actions suggest a coordinated effort to secure or hide what had been stored inside.The absence of the trucks after the strikes, along with evidence of blocked tunnel access points, supports the assessment that Iran acted quickly to move and conceal its most sensitive nuclear materials.According to the International Atomic Energy Agency and U.S. intelligence, the underground enrichment halls and tunnel entrances sustained “very significant” damage.Some tunnels were reportedly collapsed or backfilled in anticipation of an airstrike. Above-ground infrastructure—including power systems and facilities linked to uranium conversion and metal production—was heavily damaged or destroyed.Leaked reports from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency , based on initial battle damage assessments by U.S. Central Command, confirm the credibility of these findings. However, the assessments also note that the strikes did not eliminate the core components of Iran’s nuclear program.Most centrifuges and enriched uranium stockpiles survived intact.#uraniumenrichment #iran #fordow #nuclearweapons
