A day after President Trump declared that Iran’s nuclear program had been “completely and totally obliterated” by American bunker-busting bombs and a barrage of missiles, the actual state of the program seemed far more murky, with senior officials conceding they did not know the fate of Iran’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, because I'm not trusting any claims that anyone is publicly making. I think the information that the USA actually has about the status of the stockpile is currently classified and thus what we're hearing is either empty boasting or uninformed speculation.

I suppose that in the coming days we might see evidence that the stockpile really was buried under rubble (and therefore that Trump was telling the truth) but if it wasn't then I'm sure the USA doesn't want to tell Iran what the USA actually does or doesn't know about its new hiding place.
