The White House has confirmed that no enriched uranium was removed from three nuclear sites in Iran prior to recent U.S. military strikes. This statement was made by spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on June 26, 2025, amid escalating tensions between the two nations.
Details of the U.S. Strikes
The military strikes targeted key nuclear facilities at:
- Fordow
- Natanz
- Isfahan
The objective was to degrade Iran’s nuclear program. While the sites were reportedly damaged, the White House emphasized that no nuclear material was removed before the attacks.
International and Iranian Response
In response to the strikes, Iran’s parliament has:
- Passed legislation to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
This legislative move has magnified global concerns regarding nuclear oversight in the region.
U.S. Defense Perspective
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the strikes, stating they had a significant impact on Iran’s nuclear capabilities. However, some intelligence sources remain skeptical about the overall effectiveness.
Current Situation
The situation remains complex and fluid, as both diplomatic and military efforts continue to influence U.S.-Iran relations and regional stability.
