Fmr. Obama Energy Secy. Refutes Trump’s Claims: 400 Kg of Enriched Uranium Is ‘Simple’ to Move

EXCERPT:

MONIZ: “Well, clearly, if one does not recognize the facts, one can be led to some bad decisions. What he said is true, that there’s never been a strike like this one using 12 buster — bunker-busters on Fordow. His statement is absolutely correct that the military execution seems to have been flawless. But as I have said before, no military analyst ever said that bunker busters would clearly obliterate Fordow. We don’t know yet. It seems very unlikely that it was obliterated. But as I said, the nuclear weapons program will be there anyway, and a major part of it is the 60 percent enriched uranium the president has previously said that it would be very hard to move. Well, technically, it would be very easy to move. 400 kilograms is not a lot of material. Clearly, if it were being moved very openly now, it could be subject to a new attack. But to move that amount of material is simple. I would be shocked if the Iranians did not move all or most of that material to some other location that we don’t know currently. And if they are in possession of 400 kilograms of that material, they are actually fairly close to a nuclear weapon today, maybe a bit further than they were before the military strikes, but not that much further.”
