Afshin Aghaee, the Iranian Foreign Minister, said that the 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium reported missing from Iran is still in the Iranian nuclear facilities attacked by the United States, with some possibly already destroyed. "Of course, we don't know how much of these 400 kilograms survived and how much was lost; only by pulling them out of the ruins can we find out."
Aghaee assured journalists that the Iranian government is not yet ready to retrieve the enriched uranium from the ruins of the underground nuclear facilities destroyed by US forces. "The US military caused significant damage to these factories, with buildings and equipment suffering extensive destruction." However, Aghaee added that the relevant nuclear technology has been preserved.
