Overview
- Senior Israeli officials report that roughly 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent survived the June strikes on Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
- The uranium is buried under rubble at all three sites, requiring a difficult recovery operation under continuous Israeli monitoring.
- US defense and intelligence agencies continue gathering information as they finalize their battle damage assessment of Operation Midnight Hammer.
- President Trump maintains that his forces “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, a position at odds with more cautious military and international evaluations.
- Iran’s suspension of IAEA inspections on July 3 has created a verification gap that complicates independent evaluation of the sites’ condition.
