440KG of uranium enriched to 60%. That is steps away from weapons-grade. Before the strikes, Iran had enough highly enriched uranium for 2–3 nuclear weapons if pushed to 90%. Fordow hit. Natanz hit. Isfahan hit. Centrifuges destroyed. But the enriched stockpile? Unaccounted for. 60% enrichment is not beginner level. Most of the technical work is already done at that stage. From 60% to 90% is a short technical jump if the infrastructure is rebuilt or external help is provided. 440KG is roughly the size of a large suitcase. Small in volume. Massive in consequence. Even without further enrichment, it’s radioactive material that could be weaponized in other ways. The stated goal of the strikes was to halt nuclear capability. The facilities were hit. The material survived. Until that stockpile is verified and secured, the nuclear risk question remains open. That is the part very few are discussing.
