Trump: Extracting Iranian Uranium "Will Be a Long and Difficult Process"

SadaNews - U.S. President Donald Trump stated that extracting Iranian uranium "will be a long and difficult process," referring to the search for "nuclear dust" in Iran following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last June.

Trump wrote on his platform "Truth Social": "The midnight hammer operation (the name given by Washington to its strikes) was a complete and total destruction of the nuclear dust sites in Iran," adding, "Therefore, extracting it will be a long and difficult process."

Trump regularly uses the term "nuclear dust" to refer to Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, which the United States accuses Tehran of stockpiling for the purpose of making an atomic bomb.

The 79-year-old president asserts that Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium will ultimately be delivered to the United States, despite the Iranian Foreign Ministry denying any such plans.
