Trump says he wants Iran's uranium only for 'public relations'
Trump said the United States wants Iran’s uranium removed, but called the effort mostly a public relations move and raised the possibility of another strike.
- President Donald Trump said the mission to recover highly enriched uranium from Iran is "more for public relations than it is for anything else," though he ultimately prefers removing the material from the country.
- Ongoing talks with Iran to end the war are stalled by the status of an estimated 434 kg of nuclear material, which has disrupted energy flows throughout the Middle East and driven up prices worldwide.
- While Trump noted surveillance on three sites for 24 hours a day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS News the conflict will not conclude until the material is removed.
- Iran has repeatedly reneged on agreements to surrender the uranium in what Trump described as "back and forth" negotiations, complicating efforts to resolve the conflict despite discussions with Chinese leader Jinping.
- Trump raised the possibility of bombing the sites again to ensure the material remains inaccessible, while offering to assist Jinping in regional efforts if needed following their Middle East discussions.
