Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasizes the necessity of eliminating Iran's enriched uranium stockpile before the ongoing conflict can be considered resolved.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the Iran war is not yet over due to the presence of enriched uranium that must be removed from the country.
In an interview with CBS’s "60 Minutes," set to air on Sunday, Netanyahu emphasized that there are still enrichment sites that need to be dismantled.
When asked about how this could be achieved, he responded, "You go in and you take it out".
Netanyahu mentioned that U.S. President
Donald Trump shares a similar position regarding the removal of enriched uranium from Iran.
However, this statement contradicts Trump's public stance on the matter.
Trump has insisted that Tehran’s nuclear program has been contained and that the uranium could be removed "whenever we want," with proper surveillance in place.
Despite these conflicting views, Netanyahu believes that an agreement would be the ideal method for physically removing the enriched uranium stockpile from Iran.
He also highlighted other unresolved issues in the conflict, such as Iran's support for proxy forces and ballistic missile production.
Netanyahu emphasized that significant work remains to be done before these objectives can be fully accomplished.
The interview with "60 Minutes" is set to air at 7:00 p.m. (2300 GMT).
