In a surprising twist, Iran confirmed that its three key nuclear sites were evacuated well before Saturday's US military strikes. According to Hassan Abedini, deputy head of Iran’s state broadcaster, the facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan had their enriched uranium reserves safely transferred in advance.
Abedini stated, "the enriched uranium reserves had been transferred… leaving no materials that would cause harmful radiation," ensuring that even if targeted, the strikes would not trigger dangerous fallout 🚀.
The incident, reported by US President Donald Trump, has sparked lively discussions on international security and the importance of preemptive safety measures. This update serves as a reminder of how swift, proactive actions can mitigate risks in high-stakes global scenarios.
