Iran's Enriched Uranium Intact After Attacks
Analysis based on 6 articles · First reported Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated Mar 10, 2026
The continued presence of highly enriched uranium in Iran, despite attacks by Israel and the United States, increases geopolitical risk and uncertainty in global markets, particularly impacting oil prices and defense stocks. The lack of transparency from Iran regarding its nuclear program further exacerbates these concerns, potentially leading to increased sanctions or military actions.
Almost half of Iran's uranium, enriched to 60% purity and capable of producing 10 nuclear weapons, is believed to be stored in a tunnel complex at Isfahan, which survived attacks by Israel and the United States last June. International — International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi confirmed that over 200kg of this material is likely still at Isfahan, with some also at Natanz. Iran has not informed the International — International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about the status or location of its highly enriched uranium since the attacks, nor has it allowed inspectors access to its bombed facilities. This situation fuels ongoing tensions, as Israel and the United States cite Iran's nuclear program as a reason for their actions, despite past claims by Donald Trump that the program was obliterated. The International — International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has called for diplomacy to resolve the long-standing conflict.
