Visualizing Iran's 'missing' uranium: Everything we know

Nuclear experts believe Iran relocated more than 400 kg of highly enriched uranium—enough for 10 nuclear weapons—to a secret location. Here's what that would look like.

In the days before U.S. airstrikes hit Iran's Fordow and Isfahan nuclear sites, satellite images captured convoys of cargo trucks leaving the facilities. Nuclear experts now believe Iran relocated more than 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium—enough for 10 nuclear weapons—to a secret location, a move that has left U.S. and international inspectors unable to verify the material's whereabouts. Rafael Grossi, director general of the IAEA, confirmed his team last verified Iran's uranium stockpile on June 13. Since then, he said, "We do not have information of the whereabouts of this material," in an interview with Fox News. Grossi added on CNN: "Iran has made no secret that they have protected this material." Vice President JD Vance acknowledged the uncertainty, telling ABC News: "We're going to work in the coming weeks to ensure that we do something with that fuel." Maxar Technologies confirmed it captured satellite images on June 19 and 20 showing at least 16 cargo trucks positioned outside the Fordo Fuel Enrichment Facility. The images, taken just days before the U.S. launched "Operation Midnight Hammer," revealed what defense analysts described as a likely "frantic effort" to remove sensitive nuclear material or equipment.

Where is Iran's highly enriched uranium? Enough for 10 nuclear weapons is not accounted for by anyone.

Trucks lined up and waiting for their cargo at Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Fordow on June 19 before the US bombing.....

The article is wrong about the F-150 payload capacity.

I'm reminded of Dave Chappelle's yellow cake gag

That's okay. Newsweek readers don't drive F150s. F150 drivers don't read...at all.

If it doesn't start raining I'll be changing the oil in an F150 today. Might get ambitious and try to stop the leak in the passenger-side exhaust manifold again. It's annoying, the noise. Tried JB Weld a month ago but it only lasted a week. I'll try it again, I'm afraid to put a wrench on the studs to change the manifold- I just know I'd break one off.

Didn't see anything about payloads but 400 kg. isn't much. I weigh about 100 kg.
A convoy of trucks was there for more than 400 kg. of something. Unless it was feathers.

Off topic... what do you think of the Lightning?

It's hilarious how the left claims that Iran never wanted to build a nuclear weapon.

If they never wanted to then why do they have any enriched uranium at all?

Seriously, do they think that Iran just decided to start enriching it because Trump ended a deal that said they couldn't enrich it?

It's beyond laughable.

If our B rate celebrity loser Twitter in chief didn’t broadcast plans to bomb Iran in advance of bombing Iran…perhaps there wouldn’t have been a parade of trucks leaving a nuclear facility in Iran.

Nobody knew he was going to bomb Iran, what are you talking about?

I actually didn't think he would.

The uranium would be in a container that weighs 3300 lbs or so.

f150’s typically have a payload between 1300 lb to 1800 lb. A properly configured f350 could carry it

The trucks were probably carrying lots of other pieces of equipment and computers as well

The uranium was used for its nuclear plants, to help develop medical isotopes required for medical imaging

Looks good. That long cab cuts down on the box length though, doesn't it? I've got an '04 cab-and-a-half, with the fold-up seat in the back.
Lightning's electric, isn't it? I've been dithering on that subject but I'd need to hit the lottery to buy new. I refuse to take out a loan for anything- the value of my vehicles goes up and down according to how much gas is in the tank.

Yeah, that's right. When they're shouting "Death to Israel" nonstop, they really mean "Israel, you should have a CAT scan."

5 foot 6 inche bed plus or minus a couple inches
Quite smooth and quite riding but range is limited to approximately 250 miles without towing. My 2015 f150 has 700 miles of range, but is not as quite or smooth riding

Yes that is right, the Iran was cut off from buying medical isotopes

Look it up

Not sure what the process involves but I keep reading references to 'centrifuges'. I guess the idea is to get set up again elsewhere.

Due to sanctions that were imposed on Iran as a result of their support for terrorism and plans develop nuclear weapons. Which goes to show that the theocrats running that country care more about genociding Israel than they care about taking care of their own people.

So why did Obama insist they needed inspectors to watch over them then?

Was he racist?

Other than that there was no proof of Iran trying to to build nuclear weapons.

Despite Israel saying Iran was 6 months away for 20 years

Much like Iraq having mass stockpiles of WMD according to Israel despite not having any as justification for the US invasion

They have hundreds of of them, couple dozen trucks won’t carry them all.

“Iran should have signed the "deal" I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Trump wrote

Then he left the G7 summit early.

If you couldn’t read the writing on the wall, it’s because you wanted to be blind and ignore it.

Iran read it - and then we have satellite images of a parade of trucks leaving a nuclear site

5'6"? I couldn't sleep in the back unless I drop the tailgate. I'm 6'6" and change.
Where I live there's one gas station, about 60 miles of pavement and maybe 360 miles of logging roads. I always carry a jerry can but haven't needed it yet.
Hard to carry a bucket of volts though. Could a portable generator charge a vehicle battery, even if it takes awhile? Not full charge, just enough to get home.

We did find mass stockpiles of gas in Iraq, which, according to the UN, are WMD's.

We came across whole piles of artillery shells with Sarin gas in them so I don't know what you are talking about.

You should probably tell that to Newsweek, who believes they have enough material for 10 nuclear weapons.
