Netanyahu Says Iran War Is 'Not Over,' Demands Uranium Removal
Netanyahu said the campaign has degraded Iran’s nuclear program, but 970 pounds of near-bomb-grade uranium still must be removed.
- In a CBS "60 Minutes" interview airing Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted the war with Iran is "not over," insisting that Tehran's enriched uranium must be physically removed from the country.
- International monitors estimate Tehran retains nearly 970 pounds of bomb-grade uranium despite previous U.S. and Israeli strikes intended to cripple the regime's nuclear capabilities.
- Regarding removal, Netanyahu stated, "You go in and you take it out," while U.S. President Donald Trump claimed the Space Force is "surveilling" the sites and would "blow up" anyone attempting to reach the stockpile.
- These conflicting positions increase the likelihood of renewed military operations if diplomacy fails, threatening the fragile ceasefire and stability in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran recently warned of a "decisive and immediate response" to foreign warships.
- The administration faces domestic pressure to resolve the conflict before President Trump's China trip later this week, as officials weigh military options against the risk of regional escalation and disruption to global energy markets.
