Iran’s nuclear program has suffered only minimal damage despite recent US and Israeli military strikes, according to a Reuters report citing three US intelligence sources. The report states that Iran would still need roughly the same amount of time to produce a nuclear bomb as it did last summer, contradicting earlier claims that the June 2025 attacks had delayed the program by at least a year. The joint offensive, launched on February 28, targeted military and industrial sites, while Israel struck several key nuclear facilities. However, Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium remains untouched.
Intelligence officials indicated that neutralizing Iran’s nuclear capability would require destroying or relocating this uranium stockpile. Although a ceasefire agreement was signed on April 7, tensions remain high due to deep political rifts and Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for about 20 percent of global oil shipments. US Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth said Washington’s main goal is to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has not verified the location of Iran’s 440 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium, believed to be partly hidden in a secure underground tunnel in Isfahan, where inspections are currently suspended.
