FM: Iran’s enriched uranium lies under rubble but can be recovered

Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium is currently buried under the debris of a nuclear facility following US strikes, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated.

In an interview with CBS News, he stressed, however, that it could be recovered under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“So, they are, there are under the rubble. You know, our nuclear facilities were attacked, and everything is under the rubble. Of course, you know there is the possibility to retrieve them, but under the supervision of the agency,” he said.

Araghchi added that Iran currently has no active nuclear program and no plans to extract the uranium from beneath the debris.
