Trump Asserts US Doesn’t Need Iran Deal for Enriched Uranium Access
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the United States does not need an agreement with Iran to access enriched uranium and can obtain it if it wishes. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump downplayed Iran’s capacity to prevent such a move, stating, “If we want to do it, I don’t think they can stop us.”
Trump added, “There is no need to do so,” and claimed that enriched uranium has been “buried,” a remark seemingly referencing recent U.S. and Israeli attacks on certain Iranian nuclear facilities. The U.S. President also alleged that Washington monitors Iran’s nuclear sites from space and warned that any attempt to approach these facilities could provoke a response, suggesting the possibility of new threats against Iran.
Trump further disclosed that deploying special forces to transfer nuclear materials from Iran had been considered, but according to him, this action was not implemented due to the need for a prolonged U.S. troop presence in the region. He reiterated Washington’s claims regarding Iran’s nuclear program, asserting that the U.S. will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and that the current U.S. administration has performed “well” on the Iranian nuclear file.
Trump also stated that the U.S. will ultimately prevail in its confrontation with Iran, whether through negotiation or other means. He noted, however, that he does not intend to meet with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, though such a meeting could occur if an agreement were reached. The U.S. President further claimed that a significant outcome of any potential agreement with Iran could be the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Regarding the possibility of renewed military conflict, Trump stated that if American forces are killed, it could serve as a pretext for resuming military operations. He also commented on the developments in Lebanon, describing the situation as somewhat different but related to Iran, and claimed that Hezbollah had contacted Washington about halting hostilities.
