Iran retains centrifuge parts, highly enriched uranium (HEU), and technical knowledge following recent Israeli strikes, according to a report citing Le Monde. The timing of these retained capabilities and the specific nature of the HEU were not detailed within the reporting window. Le Monde reported that Israeli authorities delivered an assessment of the strikes on Iran's nuclear program to French officials that contradicted the White House's position. Despite claimed damage, Iran could restart its program in a matter of time. This information emerges following reports from the previous day, September 13th, 2025, where a resident of east Tehran reported being denied passage at sheriff's checkpoints between 8:45 PM and 9:45 PM UTC amid heightened security activity. The resident, carrying unspecified "full equipment with a lot of weapons," was turned away from two checkpoints.
