Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he didn't know of any intelligence showing that stores of highly enriched uranium were moved out of the Iranian nuclear sites hit by American bombers over the weekend.

"I'm not aware of any intelligence that I've reviewed that says things were not where they were supposed to be ... moved or otherwise," he said during a Pentagon press briefing on Thursday. Hegseth was answering a question about public images appearing to show the Iranians moving trucks out of Fordow, one of the facilities hit, in the days before the strike.
