On Thursday, Trump said that the United States will eventually recover Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, despite Iran’s statement 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 talks ongoing, hope for early resolution’: Trump
The President of the United States (US), Donald Trump, has said that talks with Iran are ongoing and he hopes the current tension with Tehran will end soon, according to reports today.
Speaking in Washington, Donald Trump said the United States is continuing diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and reach a possible agreement with Iran.
He also made it clear again that the US will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. He said the US position on Iran’s nuclear program has been clear and strict from the beginning. Adding that it will remain a key part of any future deal.
Trump also claimed that the US has strong control in the region and is closely monitoring the Strait of Hormuz. He said the US does not want to impose any transit fees on maritime trade passing through the Strait.
He further said that enriched uranium should not remain inside Iran, as it is a sensitive issue in any future agreement. Trump expressed hope that ongoing talks would bring stability and reduce tensions in the region.
‘Iran war ‘will end very quickly,’ says Trump
President Donald Trump, while talking to the lawmakers at the White House yesterday, said that the US “will end the war very quickly” with Iran.
In another development, the US Senate has voted to move forward with a measure that would limit President Donald Trump’s war powers over Iran.
The plan is expected to force President Trump to end the war in Iran. Or to get an approval from Congress to continue military action.
The vote passed 50 to 47 after some Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the move.
Before this, Donald Trump had said that Iran is eager to make a deal. He also warned that the US may launch another attack if no agreement is reached.
