On June 28th, local time, it was learned that a segment of President Trump’s interview with Fox News in the United States revealed that when asked whether he believed Iran had hidden some enriched uranium before the US attack, Trump denied this and stated that it would be difficult and very dangerous for Iran to have known about the US military’s impending visit until after the attack.
On the afternoon of June 26th, local time, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei made a video speech, clearly stating that Iran had “defeated” the United States and Israel in this round of the Iran-Israel conflict and “given the United States a severe slap.” The US and Israeli sides have been continuously promoting the results of their strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the ongoing conflict. However, as of now, there is still inconsistency among various parties regarding the damage to Iranian nuclear facilities related to its current nuclear capabilities, whether Iran has transferred enriched uranium, etc. Regarding the transfer of enriched uranium, Iran has not yet provided more specific explanations. However, on June 22nd, Ali Shamkhani, a senior advisor to Ayatollah Khamenei, wrote: “The material, knowledge reserves, and political will for enrichment remain.” (Zhao Miao, CGTN)
