Chemistry won't change what it is, just dilute it.

Bombarding it to change the nuclei would take a lot of energy and equipment and time, and it ain't happening. (Plus the resultant radioactive mix would be highly unpleasant and dangerous.)

Blow it up and it just gets scattered--and makes the site barely habitable. Still, chunks can be collected and the site mostly decontaminated, recovering the HEU.

That leaves taking it away.

But the fact that they have that much of 60% HEU when 80% is weapons grade (and one sample, it was claimed a few years back, was @ 80%) and only a few reactor designs--none possessed by Iran--need even 20% HEU.

It's like Russia's claims in mid-February 2022 that all the munitions and manpower and vehicles at the Ukrainian border were just there on "exercises" and Russia had no intention of actually invading Ukraine. Sometimes all the effort put into what could only be preparation for something really does signal not necessarily intent but the intent to be able to quickly do that "something" if the decision is made.
