- The finding contradicts President Trump’s and Pentagon statements claiming that all three sites were completely obliterated.
- The IAEA warns that unaccounted enriched uranium and suspended inspections could allow Iran to resume enrichment within months.
- Iranian leaders insist on their sovereign right to enrich uranium and pledge to accelerate near weapons-grade production despite the strikes.
