Trump Vows U.S. Will Retrieve Uranium From Iran

Trump Vows U.S. Will Retrieve Uranium From Iran

WASHINGTON, May 21 (Reuters) – President ⁠Donald ⁠Trump vowed ⁠on Thursday that the United ​States will eventually recover Iran’s stockpile of ‌highly enriched uranium ‌despite comments from Iran ⁠that ⁠it will not hand over the material. “We will ​get it. We don’t need it, we don’t want it. We’ll probably ​destroy it after we get it, but ⁠we’re ⁠not going to ⁠let them ​have it,” Trump told reporters at the ​White House. Iran ⁠is believed to possess about 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium, which Trump says was buried ⁠by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes nearly a year ⁠ago. Retrieving the uranium is part of Trump’s central objective of his war on Iran that Tehran will not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a directive that ⁠the country’s near-weapons-grade uranium should not be sent abroad, two senior Iranian sources told Reuters.  (Reporting by Katharine ​Jackson and Steve Holland; editing ​by Michelle Nichols) Copyright 2026 Thomson Reuters.
