00:00UK media say Tehran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium appears to be intact following U.S.

00:08strikes on uranium nuclear sites. The Financial Times reported the findings citing European

00:13officials who were briefed on preliminary intelligence assessments. The officials

00:18noted that European capitals believe Iran's stockpile of almost 410 kilograms of uranium

00:23enriched close to weapons-grade levels were not destroyed in Washington's strikes.

00:27Fordow is the most fortified of Iran's nuclear sites, lying in a mountain and buried close to

00:33100 meters below ground and is widely believed to be the main uranium storage facility.

00:38Early European intelligence suggests the uranium was moved out of Fordow prior to the U.S.'s attacks.

00:44White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt dismissed claims that uranium was transported

00:49from Fordow in a briefing on Thursday. Leavitt says the White House was watching closely and

00:54found no indications that any of the nuclear substance was moved.

00:57The European assessment is unlikely to go down well with U.S. President Donald Trump,

01:02who firmly stresses that Washington's strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear program.

01:07Trump's claims are supported by Israel's National Nuclear Agency. However, the Pentagon's intelligence

01:13arm also detailed in their own report that damage appears to be minimal.

01:17Speaking in a televised address, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei downplayed Trump's

01:23claims saying his assessment is, quote, exaggerated.

01:25Exaggerated.
