Iran Could Recover Some Enriched Uranium Buried Deep At Isfahan, Israel Says
A senior Israeli official cited in the BBC and NY Times has said that intelligence indicates much of Iran's enriched uranium is buried at Isfahan, which was struck by US missiles during "Operation Midnight Hammer" on June 22.
The official appears to have been part of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's delegation to Washington this week, which involved several visits to the White House and meetings with President Trump. The words somewhat contradict the Trump admin position that everything was utterly destroyed - and this is coming from a close ally.

The official described, as paraphrased by the BBC report, that "Iran may still be able to access enriched uranium stored beneath one of the three sites targeted by U.S. airstrikes last month."
"In a briefing with American reporters, the official noted that while retrieving the uranium at the Isfahan facility would be very ch...

French Intelligence Chief: US Overstated Iran Strike Impact & We Don't Know Where The Uranium Is
The head of France's foreign intelligence agency stated Tuesday that last month's Israeli and American airstrikes on Iran had destroyed only part of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, though the reality is that the exact whereabouts of the remaining material are unknown.
Chief of the country's Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) Nicolas Lerner said in a televised interview the strikes had merely delayed Iran's nuclear program by several months.
"Our assessment today is that each of these stages has been very seriously affected, very seriously damaged," he said. "The nuclear program, as we knew it, has been extremely delayed, probably many months," he added.
While France has some indications of where Iran's uranium might be, Lerner emphasized in the remarks that definitive confirmation would only be possible once the UN's atomic watchdog resumes in...

Graham Breaks With Trump Over Iran Strike Effectiveness: 'I Don't Know Where The Enriched Uranium Is'
President Trump is not going to like this. After getting out of a classified Senate briefing on Thursday, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's first words to the press and to the American people were that he "didn't want people to think the problem is over, because it's not" - in reference to the Trump-ordered B-2 bomber strikes on Iran's main nuclear and enrichment facilities.
"The real question is, have we obliterated their desire to have a nuclear weapon," Graham questioned. "I don't want people to think that the site wasn't severely damaged or obliterated. It was. But having said that, I don't want people to think the problem is over, because it's not."
"I don't know where the 900 pounds of enriched uranium exists, but it wasn't part of the target set for several years," Graham was quoted in the NY Times as saying.
