Iran reveals the fate of enriched uranium after US attack
The Minister said in an interview with the Financial Times that the assessment of the US bombing damage to Iranian nuclear facilities last June is still ongoing.
Araghchi indicated that access to some damaged sites is "complicated", leaving the fate of more than 400 kilograms of uranium in mystery.
About the transfer of nuclear material before the attack, Araghchi noted that 'I sent a letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. I said that we may be taking measures to protect the material, but I did not say we transferred it."
He pointed out that uranium may have been partially damaged or destroyed, but the final evaluation has not yet been completed.
"Iran has the knowledge and experience and scientists, and we can rebuild, we have lost a lot of centrifuges, but we are still able to enrich," he explained.
