## US VP demands uranium cuts

## Pre-strike uranium stockpile
Iran had 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity before us-israel airstrikes on june 13, enough for 10 nuclear weapons if further processed.
## Bombed facilities status
The natanz facility was destroyed, while natanz and fordow plants were badly damaged and widely believed out of action after us-israel airstrikes on june 13.
## Isfahan plant status
Iran opened a new enrichment plant at isfahan before the airstrikes, which diplomats say remains largely unscathed from us bombing.
## Remaining uranium stock
The iaea believes a bit more than 200 kg of iran's uranium enriched to up to 60% remains in the isfahan tunnel complex, with some still at natanz.
## Current enrichment capacity
Iran is not currently enriching uranium, but its 60% stock could be enriched to weapons grade with few centrifuges if restarted.
