Iran's (buried) Uranium Treasure - with Amit Segal and Fred Kagan
Episode 473
Monday, 9 March, 2026
Subscribe here to Inside Call me Back ------- Please take 5 minutes to fill out Ark Media’s LISTENER SURVEY ____ Could a buried stockpile of uranium decide the outcome of the war with Iran? Dan is joined by Israeli journalist Amit Segal and military historian Fred Kagan to unpack reports that roughly 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% may still be recoverable from a bombed Iranian nuclear site. They discuss why that level of enrichment matters, what it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material, and why the race to secure it could shape the next phase of the war. The conversation also explores the broader campaign against the Iranian regime, the possibility of regime change, renewed Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel, and what Iran might look like if the current leadership collapses. In this episode: - The race to secure Iran’s buried 60% enriched uranium - Why 60% enrichment puts Iran close to nuclear weapons capability - What it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material - The broader military campaign against Iran’s regime infrastructure - Netanyahu’s “surprises” and the strategy to destabilize the regime - Hezbollah’s renewed attacks on northern Israel - The rise of Mojtaba Khamenei and what it means for the regime - Could regime change in Iran trigger a civil war?
