Report: Iran moved uranium from Fordo before US strikes, EU capitals believe

Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile remains largely intact following US strikes on its main nuclear sites, European capitals believe, the Financial Times reports.

The newspaper, citing two people briefed on preliminary intelligence assessments, says European capitals believe Iran’s stockpile of 408 kilograms (900 pounds) of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels was not concentrated in Fordo, one of its two main enrichment sites, at the time of last weekend’s attack.

US President Donald Trump claimed yesterday that Iran didn’t have time to remove the stockpiles before the American strike on Sunday morning.
