WASHINGTON, United States โ President Donald Trump said he discussed with his administration the possibility of a military operation inside Iran to seize stockpiles of highly enriched uranium. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump described the mission as difficult, citing the fortified locations of the uranium and the substantial equipment it would require.
Trump said the proposal was under initial consideration, noting it would necessitate a two-week deployment and significant logistical support. He emphasized that the United States closely monitors Iran's nuclear facilities and would track any attempts to transfer or approach nuclear material.
In his warning to Iran, Trump said any attack on U.S. soldiers would serve as justification for resuming military operations. Meanwhile, negotiations between Washington and Tehran regarding Iran's frozen funds abroad continue. Iran's frozen overseas assets are estimated at approximately $100 billion, a figure that has been used as leverage in nuclear negotiations.
