URANIUM DELIRIUM Trump reveals what mystery trucks at nuke site were REALLY doing before blitz… rubbishing claims Iran rushed uranium out
DONALD Trump has revealed what the mystery trucks at Iran's Fordow nuke plant were doing there before he blitzed the base.
Satellite pictures captured the lorries at the underground bunker complex just hours before the US hammered it with B-2 stealth bombers in the "historically successful" Operation Midnight Hammer.

Some had speculated online those workers had been trying to remove the enriched uranium from the base.
But Trump has posted on social media after a Pentagon briefing today and said the trucks were concrete workers.
Iranian workers had desperately tried to cover the vents of the complex in concrete in the hours before the US bombed.
The bunker buster bombs hit their targets just hours later and flew down the shafts and obliterated the facility.
Trump said: "The cars and small trucks at the site were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts.
"Nothing was taken out of facility. Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!"
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed the Iranian's desperate attempts during the briefing held with Dan "Raizin" Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Caine talked through previously unseen footage of the 30,000lb GBU-57 "bunker buster" weapon being tested.
One of the bombs can be seen in slo-mo hitting a dirt target, travelling through a thick layer of earth, and then exploding in a cavity below it in the new footage.
The footage came as part of the administration's efforts to prove Operation Midnight Hammer blitz on Fordow "obliterated" the plant.
Caine also revealed information about the planning for the mission including that one person in the Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) had been solely studying the underground bunker complex for 15 years.
That person, whose identity is classified, had effectively been able give a design of the base for the Air Force to then design a mission around.
Caine said that the 30,000lb bombs had been designed with Iran's nuclear program in mind and from studying Fordow.
He said: "The weapons were designed, planned, and delivered to achieve the objections in the mission space."
Developing the bomb had, at one point, been using the most supercomputer hours in the United States.
Caine said he didn't have intelligence on the damage, but could confirm the bombs had released properly, hit their target, and exploded.
One of the pilots told Caine after the mission: "This is the brightest explosion I have ever seen, it literally looked like daylight".
The Pentagon briefing on the operation came just hours after Iran's fanatical supreme leader broke his silence after not being seen in a week.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, claimed victory over Israel and America despite his country being hammered in the "12 Day War".
Khamenei is hiding away in a bunker deep below ground despite the ceasefire as he fears being assassinated by secret agents, the New York Times reports.
The supreme leader was seen in a video sitting in front of the same brown curtain - presumably still cowardly hiding in his bunker - as he had last week.
On Israel, he ludicrously claimed Iran had almost crushed the country and the government in Tel Aviv was on the verge of collapse.
That's despite the IDF controlling the skies over Tehran, assassinating dozens of top generals and nuclear scientists, and destroying dozens of valuable missile batteries in just 12 days of fighting.
On America, Khamenei claimed to have given the country a "severe slap" to its face and that it had "gained nothing" from the attack on Iran's nuke plants.
The Ayatollah said: 'The American regime entered a direct war because it felt that if it did not, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed.
"However, it gained no achievements from this war.
'Here, too, the Islamic Republic emerged victorious, and in return, the Islamic Republic delivered a severe slap to America's face.'
Khamenei also bizarrely claimed his rockets had hit the American's Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, despite his forces giving advanced warning so the rockets could be all shot down.
The supreme leader was last seen a week ago in a video message, but it's two weeks since he appeared to his people in the flesh.
