Trump stated that the U.S. wants to obtain Iranian uranium by any means necessary
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States will obtain Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium one way or another. At the same time, he warned that if the negotiations fail, this could happen “in a far less friendly manner.”
When asked about the possible timeline for removing the materials, which he referred to as “nuclear dust,” Trump declined to give specific dates.
“Obviously, I’m not going to give you a timeline, except to say that if we sign a deal, then I’ll be able to give you a timeline: sometime after the deal is signed, we’ll go to Iran, and we’ll take it all, and we’ll bring 100% of it back to the United States,” he said.
At the same time, the U.S. president emphasized that the U.S. will obtain the relevant Iranian reserves in any case.
“If we don’t do this, we’ll get it in another form, in a much more hostile form. But in any case, we’ll get it,” Trump stated.
The U.S. is on the brink of conflict with Iran, while advisors are urging the administration to consider the economic implications.
Sweden’s foreign minister has urged citizens to leave Iran immediately.
Iran has warned the UN of possible “legitimate” strikes against the U.S. military.
