Nuclear expert questions whether Iran moved enriched uranium before US strike

Sky News AU3 days ago

Nuclear expert Michael Cohen speculates whether Iran may have transported enriched uranium before the US targeted their nuclear facilities.
Maxar Satellite Imagery reveals 16 cargo trucks lined along the main road approaching an underground tunnel entrance of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Facility.
'Crucially, what has been moved before the attack, hard to say — potentially easier to move enriched fuel — much harder if not impossible to move the enrichment facilities that enrich that fuel,' Mr Cohen told Sky News Australia.
'It depends on what the enriched uranium is stored in and how far away it has been moved.
'We don't know what other facilities are nearby, how far the Iranians moved them, and wherever they've been moved to have been beyond the range of the bunker-buster bombs.'

Liberal Party is at a ‘very low point' while considering gender quotas

Shadow Cabinet Secretary Andrew Wallace says the Liberal Party has 'pushed back against' the concept of quotas as it is 'uncharted territory'. 'I think we need to absolutely increase our number of women in the parliament,' Mr Wallace told Sky News Australia. 'We're at a very, very low point right now. 'Everything has to be on the table; we have to examine all options in relation to our policies and our structures. 'Australians expect us as an opposition to be a credible opposition.'

‘Big setback': Iranian nuclear program delayed but does not remove years of ‘expertise'

Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering Patrick Burr says the US strikes on Iran have 'setback' the Iranian nuclear program, but has not removed the 'expertise or material' the country has accumulated over the years. 'It certainly is a setback in the nuclear program of Iran, if they had wanted to continue it, this certainly is a big setback because they've lost a lot of their infrastructure,' Mr Burr told Sky News Australia. 'It doesn't remove all the expertise or the material that they have accumulated over the years.'
