U.S. Deploys B-2 Bombers as Iran's Uranium Enrichment Reaches Unprecedented Levels

While U.S. intelligence maintains Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, concerns intensify over its enrichment capabilities and undeclared facilities.

• Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified that Iran is not actively building a nuclear weapon, though its uranium enrichment levels are unprecedented for a non-nuclear state.
• The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran has amassed 274.8 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60 percent, far exceeding civilian use requirements.
• The U.S. has escalated its military posture by deploying B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, signaling a warning to Iran.
• Reports suggest Iran may be operating undeclared nuclear facilities disguised as space development sites, complicating international monitoring efforts.
• Criticism of U.S. intelligence assessments persists, with some experts arguing they underestimate the risks posed by Iran's advanced enrichment and nuclear infrastructure.
