U.S. intelligence has released details.
Iran has significantly strengthened security around its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium by blocking access to underground storage facilities and installing booby traps at tunnel entrances. This was reported by CNN citing five sources familiar with U.S. intelligence.
According to the sources, in recent weeks Tehran has been deliberately destroying the tunnel entrances and further fortifying the facilities, where approximately half a ton of material potentially suitable for nuclear weapons is likely stored.
The sources note that following public statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the possibility of forcibly seizing uranium, access to the storage sites has become “significantly more difficult and dangerous.”
The new fortifications also complicate potential agreements between the U.S. and Iran regarding the removal or destruction of nuclear materials.
According to U.S. officials, an agreement is being discussed that would transfer enriched uranium to U.S. control, followed by its destruction and removal from Iranian territory. At the same time, the final terms of the agreements remain a subject of dispute between the parties.
Stocks may be hidden in collapsed tunnels
International experts believe that a significant portion of Iran’s uranium may be stored in damaged or collapsed underground tunnels at the nuclear complex in Isfahan, as well as at other facilities.
Former U.S. nuclear security officials warn that even under international monitoring, Iran could retain partial access to the material or dispute the completeness of its inventory.
