Israel says it did not destroy all enriched uranium in Iran, tried to assassinate Khamenei

Israel did not destroy all of Iran’s highly enriched uranium and tried to kill Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during its operation, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in an interview to Channel 13 on Thursday evening.

When asked about the 408 kilograms of highly enriched uranium the Iranians had before the war and if it was moved inside Iran or taken out of the country, Katz said, “It was clear from the outset of our attack that we would not eliminate all of the material. The shared U.S.-Israeli position is that the Iranians will be asked to hand over that material.”

Israel tried during the war with Iran to assassinate Khamanei, but there was “no operational opportunity to do so,” Katz said.

He laughed off the suggestion Israel would need “permission” from the U.S. He denied it was “forbidden” by the U.S.

Israel-Iran live updates: Trump says he would bomb Iran again ‘without a question’

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is “not happy” with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges.

Trump said Iran and Israel both “violated” the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday, in comments made as he departed the White House.

On Wednesday morning, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities likely only set Tehran’s nuclear program back by months.

Trump says he would bomb Iran again ‘without a question’

President Donald Trump said on Friday he would bomb Iran again “without a question” if intelligence were to find that Iran can enrich uranium to a level higher than what he is comfortable with.

“Without a question. Absolutely,” he told reporters in the White House briefing room.

“They’re exhausted. The last thing they are thinking about is nuclear [weapons],” Trump said of Iran.

Responding to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s claim that Iran won the war, Trump said, “You got beat to hell. Israel was beat up too, they were both beat up.”

Trump doubles down on claim Iran’s nuclear sites were ‘obliterated’

President Donald Trump on Friday doubled down on his claim that Iran’s nuclear sites were “obliterated” and said it would take “years” before the country could restart its program.

“I don’t believe that they’re going to go back into nuclear anytime soon. They spent over $1 trillion on nuclear and they never got it together. And nothing was moved from the site, by the way, to do that is very dangerous. It’s very, very heavy material,” he told reporters in the White House briefing room on Friday.

Trump also said that Iran now wants to meet and negotiate a deal.

“I’ve been saying for 25 years, even as a civilian, you cannot let them have a nuclear weapon and that’s what happened. It’s been obliterated,” he said. “It would be years before they could ever get going. And I really think it’s probably the last thing they have to recover from a hell of a tough war.”

Iran may still be ‘days’ from nuke, Democrats skeptical uranium was destroyed

Following a classified briefing, House Speaker Mike Johnson said that Iran’s nuclear capabilities suffered a “major setback” after the U.S. bombed three sites there last weekend, telling reporters that lawmakers received a “thorough” and “very helpful” closed-door briefing — but Democrats left the briefing worried that Iran’s cache of enriched uranium may have not been destroyed.

Asked about that uranium stockpile by ABC News, Johnson downplayed the significance of an initial intelligence assessment from the Pentagon which showed that Iran’s stockpile was not destroyed.

“We have a sense about that, some of this is classified, but I will tell you that there was a CIA press release, I think it went out yesterday, and they concluded that this is a quote, ‘Iran’s nuclear program has been severely damaged,’ unquote,” Johnson said. “I’ll put that in layman’s terms. I would say it’s a substantial setback.”

But the only PhD nuclear physicist serving in Congress, Rep. Bill Foster, told reporters that he worries Iran’s uranium survived.

“I know this technology pretty well. I was very disappointed that we learned very little about the inventory of high enriched uranium, 60% enriched uranium, and its whereabouts and what that meant for the breakout time to Iran’s first nuclear device,” Foster said. “There is, I think frankly, a very over-optimistic portrayal of what was and was not accomplished by this mission, because we do not have understanding and control of where all of that material is.”

Democrats said there are “massive inconsistencies” remaining — and if the uranium was not destroyed, Foster believes Iran could still be “days” or “a very brief period of time” from building a nuclear bomb.

“We’re talking about 20 or 30 scuba tanks full of material, where any two or so of those scuba tanks provide enough material for a first nuclear weapon,” he said. “That is what we’re trying to understand – where the location is and the disposition in the situation where the intelligence may or may not be complete.”

Foster said “the game was lost” when President Trump withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran nuclear deal, in 2018.

“Under that under the JCPOA, we had very strict limits and enforced limits on their inventory of enriched uranium at different levels. And when that was lost, the game was lost,” he said. “And now we’re in a situation where they have very large inventories of quite significantly enriched uranium, and unfortunately that implies a very small breakout time to a first nuclear device.”

Former Army Ranger Jason Crow of Colorado, leaving the briefing, said he was “shocked” by the “massive inconsistencies that remain between what Congress has been previously briefed and informed and what we heard today.” The congressman added he is “not convinced whatsoever” that Iran’s nuclear sites have been completely destroyed.

Iran says nuclear installations were ‘badly damaged’

Iran said its nuclear installations were “badly damaged” because it “has come under repeated attacks by Israeli and American aggressors,” Esmail Baghaei, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said on Wednesday.

“There has been a draft bill by our parliament today. It has been adopted. And it talks about suspending our cooperation with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency]. It talks about suspending. Not putting an end to the cooperation,” he said.

“Based on the parliament bill, the IAEA staff are not entitled to enter Iran for inspections, unless security of the nuclear facilities and peaceful activity of Iran is guaranteed,” Baghaei noted.

Iran criticized the IAEA, with Baghaei saying the least it “had to do was to explicitly condemn the acts by the U.S. and Israel.”

“The international community has to understand that what was done by the United States against Iran was a horrible blow to international diplomacy, to international law and to international ethics,” he said.

“After we launched an attack in our defense on the U.S. base in Qatar — that is the al-Hudeid base — we received a message from Oman regarding ceasefire. As a country that has never welcomed war, and never doubted in defending ourselves, we accepted this suggestion,” Baghaei said.

Israel-Iran live updates: Hegseth defends Iran bombing, says media undermining ‘success’

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is “not happy” with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges.

Trump said Iran and Israel both “violated” the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday, in comments made as he departed the White House.

On Wednesday morning, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities likely only set Tehran’s nuclear program back by months.

Centrifuges at Fordow nuclear facility ‘suffered a great deal,’ IAEA Director says

The centrifuges at Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility “have suffered a great deal,” International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Grossi said Thursday.

“Given the scale and capacity of the military means used, we can deduce that the centrifuges have suffered a great deal, if [they] have not been destroyed,” Grossi said, originally in French.

When asked if it’s possible that some of the technology or centrifuges at Fordo survived, are still operational or have been moved, Grossi said “it’s a hypothesis,” that can’t be ruled out.

Grossi said while he understands the logic behind Israel and the U.S.’s decision to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, he said he believed “there was a diplomatic path.” Grossi acknowledged Iran was not cooperating in the U.S.-Iran negotiations before military intervention was taken.

“I could never say the solution was [using the] military. I’m not criticizing. It’s not my position to do so,” Grossi said. “Until the day military action was triggered, Iran was not cooperating in the necessary way.”
