JD Vance has suggested Iran’s estimated 400kg (882lb) stockpile of enriched uranium, which is just short of weapons-grade, remains intact despite the recent US bombing campaign against Iran.
On Monday, the vice-president told Fox News that the location of the uranium “is not the question before us”, and said the relevant question was: “Can Iran enrich the uranium to weapons-grade level and can they convert that fuel into a nuclear weapon?”
The Iranian stockpile of uranium was believed to have been located mainly at Isfahan, which houses a conversion facility that turns uranium into the form that can be fed into centrifuges for enrichment.
So the mission that is likely to spark regional wars in the Middle East was either a success, or it wasn’t. And Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, unless Iran hasn’t.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump administration.
This is the reason and the ONLY reason I have hope we may get out of this - the absolute ineptitude and chaos will allow transition.
