Part 2/12:
The briefing kicks off with the latest on Iran’s nuclear program. President Trump declared that the United States no longer sees the necessity of pursuing a nuclear deal with Iran following recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. While the strikes targeted key sites, questions about the destruction and Iran’s nuclear material remain unanswered.
Key Concerns:
- Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles, estimated at over 900 pounds of 60% enriched uranium, may have been partially moved to a clandestine underground site dubbed Pickax Mountain. This site, located near the better-known Fordo complex, has attracted attention due to satellite imagery revealing new tunnels and reinforced security features.
