Trump Predicts Casts Doubt on Iran’s Nuclear Claims
Former U.S. President Donald Trump Predicts Iran’s claim that it evacuated enriched uranium from the Fordow nuclear site before U.S. airstrikes. Speaking to reporters, Trump stated confidently, “They didn’t have time to move anything. That kind of material is extremely dangerous to extract quickly.”
He further added, “If they knew we were coming, they wouldn’t have stayed there. It’s not something you can just move in two weeks.” Trump emphasized that intelligence suggesting otherwise lacked credibility and was likely politically motivated.
U.S. Defense Secretary Denies Speculation
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth supported Trump’s statement, calling any alternative claims “speculative and agenda-driven.” He confirmed that recent intelligence had “low confidence” in assertions that Iran relocated its uranium before the attack.
Hegseth stressed that the U.S. executed the strike swiftly and precisely, targeting what it believed to be active nuclear enrichment facilities.
Ceasefire with Iran, Gaza Could Be Next
After confirming the ceasefire agreement with Iran, Trump suggested that a similar resolution could soon follow in Gaza. “If Iran stands down, Gaza won’t be far behind,” he stated during the press briefing. The former president pointed out that regional stability is increasingly within reach following recent military and diplomatic actions.
Trump Predicts Iran’s Future Enrichment Plans in Doubt
When asked about Iran’s potential plans to continue enriching uranium, Trump replied, “Enrichment is the last thing on their mind right now. They’re focused on recovery.” He asserted that the U.S. strike had significantly weakened Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Trump’s statement suggests a shift in focus—from confrontation to containment—as Washington watches for Iran’s next move.
