ERBIL, Iraq - Hailing the American strikes on Iran as a success, President Donald Trump said late Saturday that the Islamic Republic's key nuclear sites were "completely and fully obliterated."
But despite his bullish claims, the extent of the damage to the deeply buried facility at Fordo, as well as sites at Isfahan and Natanz, is unclear and almost 400 kilograms, or 880 pounds, of uranium enriched to 60% are publicly unaccounted for.
Power plants require the radioactive metal to be enriched to only 3%-5%, whereas 90% is required to build a nuclear warhead.
Bloomberg reports that, “Israel agrees to truce with Iran after Trump push to end war” (fine and good, welcome news, imho); however, a truce does not necessarily mark the *end* of a war.
It may or may not do so, in this instance (time will tell).
Meanwhile, re the #EnrichedUranium…
Where is it???
