Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on June 26 said he’s not aware of intelligence that shows that Iran moved its uranium away to prevent it from being targeted in U.S. airstrikes over the past weekend.
“I’m not aware of any intelligence that I’ve reviewed that says things were not where they were supposed to be, moved or otherwise,” Hegseth told reporters at a press conference.
