Vice President J.D. Vance signaled Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium is still intact and in Iranian control, a potentially significant problem for closing off Iran's future path to a bomb.

Iran has enough near-weapons-grade material for around 10 nuclear weapons. Asked if that enriched uranium stockpile had been destroyed, Vance told ABC's "This Week" program, that "we are going to work in the coming weeks to ensure that we do something with that fuel and that's one of the things that we're going to have conversations with the Iranians about."

The stockpile was believed to have been mainly at Isfahan, which houses a conversion facility that turns uranium into the form that can be fed into centrifuges for enrichment.

However U.N. atomic energy agency chief Rafael Grossi said in recent days that it could have been moved. His inspectors haven't been able to visit Iranian nuclear sites since the Israeli attacks started.

Vance said Iran no longer has the capacity to turn the stockpile into weapons-grade uranium. "And that was really the goal here," he said
