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.

Iran's hackers keep a low profile after Israeli and US strikes
June 27 (Reuters) - After Israeli and American forces struck Iranian nuclear targets, officials in both countries sounded the alarm over potentially disruptive cyberattacks carried out by the Islamic Republic's hackers. But as a fragile ceasefire holds, cyber defenders in the United States and Israel say they have so far seen little out of the ordinary – a potential sign that the threat from Iran's cyber capabilities, like its battered military, has been overestimated. There has been no indication of the disruptive cyberattacks often invoked during discussions of Iran's digital capabilities, such as its alleged sabotage of tens of thousands of computers at major oil company Saudi Aramco in 2012, or subsequent break-ins at U.S. casinos or water facilities. "The volume of attacks appears to be relatively low," said Nicole Fishbein, a senior security researcher with the Israeli company Intezer. "The techniques used are not particularly sophisticated." Online vigilante groups alleged by security analysts to be acting at Iran's direction boasted of hacking a series of Israeli and Western companies in the wake of the airstrikes. A group calling itself Handala Hack claimed a string of data heists and intrusions, but Reuters was not able to corroborate its most recent hacking claims. Researchers say the group, which emerged in the wake of Palestinian militant group Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, likely operates out of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence. Rafe Pilling, lead threat intelligence researcher at British cybersecurity company Sophos, said the impact from the hacking activity appeared to be modest. 'As far as we can tell, it's the usual mix of ineffectual chaos from the genuine hacktivist groups and targeted attacks from the Iran-linked personas that are likely having some success but also overstating their impact,' he said. Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York did not respond to a request for comment. Iran typically denies carrying out hacking campaigns. Israeli firm Check Point Software said a hacking campaign, opens new tab it ties to Iran's Revolutionary Guards has in recent days sent phishing messages to Israeli journalists, academic officials and others. In one case, the hackers tried to lure a target to a physical meeting in Tel Aviv, according to Sergey Shykevich, Check Point's threat intelligence group manager. He added that the reasoning behind the proposed meeting was not clear. Shykevich said there have been some data destruction attempts at Israeli targets, which he declined to identify, as well as a dramatic increase in attempts to exploit a vulnerability in Chinese-made security cameras – likely to assess bomb damage in Israel. The pro-Iranian cyber operations demonstrate an asymmetry with pro-Israeli cyber operations tied to the aerial war that began on June 13. In the days since the start of the conflict, suspected Israeli hackers have claimed to have destroyed data at one of Iran's major state-owned banks. They also burned roughly $90 million in cryptocurrencies that the hackers allege were tied to government security services. Israel's National Cyber Directorate did not return a message seeking comment. Analysts said the situation is fluid and that more sophisticated cyber espionage activity may be flying under the radar. Both Israeli and U.S. officials have urged industry to be on the lookout. A June 22 Department of Homeland Security bulletin warned that the ongoing conflict was causing a heightened threat environment in the U.S. and that cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against U.S. networks. The FBI declined to comment on any potential Iranian cyber activities in the United States. Yelisey Bohuslavskiy, the cofounder of intelligence company Red Sense, compared Iran's cyber operations to its missile program. The Iranian weapons that rained down on Israel during the conflict killed 28 people and destroyed thousands of homes, but most were intercepted and none significantly damaged the Israeli military. Bohuslavskiy said Iranian hacking operations seemed to work similarly. 'There is a lot of hot air, there is a lot of indiscriminate civilian targeting, and - realistically - there are not that many results,' he said.

'Game of Thrones' inspired tactics behind Israel's Iran strike
Israel's mission to wipe out Iran's top nuclear scientists and military leaders was years in the making and partially inspired by a particularly brutal scene in Game of Thrones. The operation, in which coordinated bombs rained down on Tehran in a stealth attack on June 13, was referred to within Israel's ranks as the 'Red Wedding.' The name references one of the most infamous moments of television history, in which key players from the HBO series were wiped out in one fell swoop during the long-running television series. Israel's top generals watched as chaos descended upon Tehran from a bunker beneath the air force headquarters, waiting to learn if their meticulous plan had worked. In all at least 30 military officials, including the IRGC chief and Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, were killed, along with nine top Iranian scientists who were playing key roles in the nation's uranium enrichment program. US President Donald Trump followed up the strikes with an assault of his own, dropping the military's 'bunker busters' o n three of Iran's nuclear sites. He has since claimed the operation 'totally obliterated' Iran's nuclear capacity. As of Wednesday, a total of 1,054 people in Iran, including at least 318 military personnel, have died due to Israel's assault. To make it happen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began a weeks-long campaign of deception, fooling his own son and wife in the process and drawing the US into a fake disagreement to lull Iran's top brass into a false sense of security. He announced he would be taking a short break for a family vacation to celebrate his son Avner's wedding on June 16. In reality, Netanyahu had planned to delay the wedding - a detail he hadn't even shared with his son or his wife, Wall Street Journal reported. Simultaneously, Netanyahu's team was leaking to journalists details of a rift with Trump over the US position on attacking Iran. Trump kept up appearances by publicly urging Israel not to launch any military strikes and celebrating that the US and Iran were 'fairly close to an agreement.' Netanyahu hoped that Iranian officials would not expect him to attack without explicit approval and support from the US. At this stage, Trump had been briefed about the strikes and was aware of what was to come. The acts of deception meant that Israel's intelligence on key leaders' daily habits, whereabouts and patterns would would remain relevant, and prevent targets from going into hiding or changing their location. One of the most crucial elements of the plot was to hit Iran's armed forced simultaneously - which was the effort known as the Red Wedding. The plan was to limit Iran's ability to retaliate, giving drones and fighter jets more time to continue bombing missile launchers and nuclear targets. But in the hours leading up to the strike, Israel's intelligence sources revealed key targets had left their locations. Israeli officials feared the ruse was up and Iran was aware of the imminent strike. But instead of dispersing, these leaders actually gathered together in one place, the report said. This allowed Israel to strike, totally decimating Iran's top military structure. Mohammad Bagheri (pictured), the commander in chief of Iran's military and second highest commander after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was among the first casualties identified after the strikes. Hossein Salami, commander in chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was also killed, along with Gholamali Rashid, the deputy commander in chief of the armed forces. General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the airspace unit of the Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Gholamreza Mehrabi, the deputy intelligence chief of the Armed Forces and Gen. Davood Sheikhian, the commander of air defense, were also wiped out. Simultaneously, bombs exploded at the homes of nine scientists, killing them instantly and at the same time. These targets had long been at the top of Israel's hit list. A network of Israeli agents had been operating within Iran and watching the way leadership operated for decades, beginning in the 1990s when Israel first identified Iran's attempts to build a nuclear weapons program. In April and October of 2024, Israel launched strikes on Tehran to destroy Iran's advanced air defense systems, a successful mission which came in response to missile fire from Iran over Tel Aviv. A month later in November 2024, Israel gathered 120 intelligence and air force officials together to draw up a list of priority targets in such a strike. Together, they listed 250 targets ranging from the nuclear scientists to military officials. Spies who had infiltrated Tehran smuggled in explosive-rigged drones and weaponry inside suitcases, trucks and shipping containers and began testing the long range capabilities of some of the drones it had in its arsenal.

Talks on nuclear programme complicated by US strikes, Iran says
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told state television that the attacks had caused 'serious damage'. The US was one of the parties to the 2015 nuclear deal in which Iran agreed to limits on its uranium enrichment programme in exchange for sanctions relief and other benefits. The deal unravelled after President Donald Trump pulled the US out unilaterally during his first term. Mr Trump has suggested he is interested in new talks with Iran and said the two sides would meet next week. No agreement has been made for resuming the negotiations. No time has been set, no promise has been made and we haven't even talked about restarting the talks Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi Mr Araghchi left open the possibility that his country would again enter talks on its nuclear programme, but suggested it would not be any time soon. 'No agreement has been made for resuming the negotiations,' he said. 'No time has been set, no promise has been made and we haven't even talked about restarting the talks.' The American decision to intervene militarily 'made it more complicated and more difficult' for talks, Mr Araghchi said. Israel attacked Iran on June 13, targeting its nuclear sites, defence systems, high-ranking military officials and atomic scientists. In 12 days of strikes, Israel said it killed some 30 Iranian commanders and hit eight nuclear-related facilities and more than 720 military infrastructure sites. More than 1,000 people were killed, including at least 417 civilians, according to the Washington-based Human Rights Activists group. Iran fired more than 550 ballistic missiles at Israel, most of which were intercepted but those that got through caused damage in many areas and killed 28 people. The US stepped in on Sunday to hit Iran's three most important sites with a wave of cruise missiles and bunker-buster bombs dropped by B-2 bombers, designed to penetrate deep into the ground to damage the heavily-fortified targets. Iran, in retaliation, fired missiles at a US base in Qatar on Monday but caused no known casualties. Mr Trump said the American attacks 'completely and fully obliterated' Iran's nuclear programme, though Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday accused the US president of exaggerating the damage, saying the strikes did not 'achieve anything significant'. There has been speculation that Iran moved much of its highly-enriched uranium before the strikes, something it told UN nuclear watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it planned to do. Even if that turns out to be true, IAEA director Rafael Grossi told Radio France International that the damage done to the Fordo site, which was built into a mountain, 'is very, very, very considerable'. Among other things, he said, centrifuges are 'quite precise machines' and it's 'not possible' that the concussion from multiple 30,000-pound bombs would not have caused 'important physical damage'. 'These centrifuges are no longer operational,' he said. Mr Araghchi himself acknowledged that 'the level of damage is high, and it's serious damage'. He added that Iran had not yet decided upon whether to allow IAEA inspectors in to assess the damage, but that they would be kept out 'for the time being'.
