Trump’s remarks echoed his defense secretary who said he was unaware of any intelligence suggesting Iran had moved its uranium to shield it from US strikes.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said, “The cars and small trucks at the site were those of concrete workers trying to cover up the top of the shafts. Nothing was taken out of facility. Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!”
