🌍 What’s Going on Between the U.S. and Iran?
Recently, the U.S. military carried out strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Some people wondered if Iran moved its special uranium to hide it before the strikes. But U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says there’s no proof of that.
🔎 What Is Uranium and Why Does It Matter?
Uranium is a heavy metal used as fuel in nuclear power plants. It can also be enriched to make nuclear weapons, which is a big concern for many countries.
📰 What Did People Think?
After the strikes, some experts thought Iran might have moved its highly enriched uranium to secret places. They noticed satellite pictures showing lots of vehicles outside a place called Fordow, which is a nuclear facility in Iran.
🗣️ What Did the Defense Secretary Say?
Mr. Hegseth said he hasn’t seen any information that shows Iran moved its uranium. He also said that the U.S. strikes caused serious damage to Iran’s nuclear program, and it could take years for Iran to rebuild.
📸 What’s Next?
It’s important to keep watching and see what happens. These are serious matters that affect peace in the world.
