Donald Trump stated that the US will take and probably destroy Iran’s enriched uranium after the shocks.
New tension is being caused by Donald Trump’s statements on Iran’s nuclear program, with the US president signaling that Washington will not allow Tehran to maintain stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump appeared determined to escalate pressure on the Iranian regime, arguing that the roughly 450 kilograms of uranium Iran is believed to possess poses a serious threat to international security. The new deployments come at a time of heightened geopolitical tension in the Middle East, following the American-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, while Tehran appears adamant and categorically denies the possibility of transferring enriched uranium outside the country.
In particular, Donald Trump reiterated today that “eventually” the US will take the enriched uranium stockpile that Iran possesses.
Objectives
“We will take it. We don’t need it, we don’t want it. We’ll probably destroy it after we get it, but we’re not going to allow them to have it,” he told reporters at the White House.
Iran is believed to have about 450 kilograms of highly enriched uranium that Trump says has been buried since the U.S.-Israeli strikes about a year ago.
Recovering the uranium is one of the U.S. president’s key goals in the war, as he insists Tehran will not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
Iran’s supreme leader has issued an order that the country’s enriched uranium not be sent abroad, according to two Iranian sources who spoke to Reuters.”>https:=”” www.iefimerida.gr=””kosm…
