U.S. intelligence found that Iran did not move nuclear material from its Fordo facility before American bombers blasted that site, despite a report to the contrary, Sen. Markwayne Mullin said Monday.
“They are claiming that they moved some material,” Mullin said, referring to Israel and Iran, respectively. “Our intelligence report says they didn’t,” the Oklahoma Republican said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“In fact, we actually believe they stored more of it in Fordo because they believe Fordo was impenetrable,” said Mullin, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “They thought it was a safe place to be.”
But, he added, “We have the ability to destroy things that people think were undestroyable. And so we think we did a really good job.”
“However,” Mullin warned, “if we find that we didn’t completely destroy Fordo’s nuclear production capabilities, “we will be working with our allies to finish the job, or we will finish the job.”
