The war in Iran “is not over” because we still need “to get Iran” out of its enriched uranium reserves, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the US television network CBS, according to an excerpt of an interview broadcast today.
The war “has allowed many things to be achieved, but it is not over, because there are still nuclear materials – enriched uranium – that we have to take from Iran,” Netanyahu said, adding that there also remain “enrichment facilities that must be destroyed.”
Asked how he expects to “take out” uranium from Iran, he said: “We will go in and get it out.”
“What President Trump said to me is, ‘I want to go. And I think it’s practically possible. That’s not where the problem is. If we have a deal, let’s go and get it done, why not? That’s the best solution,” he added.
“In the end we will recover it (…) we’re watching it closely,” the US president said in a separate interview released today and taped earlier in the week.
“If anyone comes near the site, we will know and we will blow them up,” he added, speaking to freelance reporter Cheryl Atkinson.
“If the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) takes over.: recover uranium), that makes us too,” U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said this morning in a separate interview with CBS.
