Iran could recover some enriched uranium after US strikes, Israeli official says
An Israeli official has raised concerns that Iran may attempt to recover some enriched uranium from underground facilities if the United States launches strikes against the country’s nuclear program.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that Iran could use advanced equipment to access and retrieve enriched uranium from underground sites in the event of military action. This statement comes amidst growing tensions between the US and Iran over the latter’s nuclear ambitions.
Iran has consistently denied seeking nuclear weapons, asserting that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. However, the international community, including the US and Israel, has expressed skepticism and has called for strict monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities.
The US has not confirmed any plans for military strikes against Iran but has reiterated its commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Israel, which views Iran as a major threat, has been vocal in its opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran and has not ruled out military action to halt Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
The possibility of Iran recovering enriched uranium after potential US strikes raises concerns about the effectiveness of military action in curbing Iran’s nuclear program. It also highlights the complex challenges involved in the ongoing efforts to address Iran’s nuclear activities through diplomacy and international agreements.
Overall, the situation underscores the delicate balance of power and the high stakes involved in the standoff between Iran, the US, and Israel regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
