The equivalent of massive amounts of dirty bombs. Does anyone actually know what is the status of these former enrichments sites. I have yet to see one.

There is all manner of geopolitical and military fallout (click here) likely to come from the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear enrichment sites on June 21. What worries a lot of people more, however, is the literal fallout—the radioactive contamination that could be released when massive, bunker-buster munitions are dropped on facilities said to contain more than 400 kg (880 lbs.) of enriched uranium. Demolishing the sites, so the thinking goes, could have the same effect as detonating a so-called dirty bomb—a piece of non-fissile ordnance that spreads dangerous radioactive material across a large footprint of land and expanse of sky.
These documents are worthless. Trump is attempting to recreate the wheel when there is no way SAFE WAY to assess the places in Iran where bunker buster bombs because of uncontained radiation. If no one can assess the facilities safely, then there is no way to work in the facilities to enrich uranium.

...Witkoff and Kushner (click here) agreed terms with their Iranian counterparts last week on a 60-day MOU to extend the ceasefire, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, allow Iran to sell oil and launch talks on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and limitations on future enrichment.
- Trump asked for two amendments to the text last Friday, and the Iranians said they would ask for tweaks of their own. The U.S. is waiting for the official Iranian response, but the sources said the gaps are relatively narrow.
-For example, Trump asked Tehran to agree that any final deal would include a 60-day deadline to conclude the down-blending of Iran's enriched uranium, but the Iranians want that deadline to be 90 days, according to two sources briefed on the talks.
- There is also disagreement over how much of Iran's frozen billions would be released, and when. The U.S. has said it would release funds after a final deal was reached and concrete steps were taken toward implementing it, a U.S. official said. The Iranians want some of the funds released immediately....
