United States President Donald Trump is vowing to take Iran’s enriched uranium, just a few days after seizing Venezuela’s. Trump said that the US will get hold of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium “at some point,” repeating one of his key demands in peace talks.

In an interview aired on Sunday, journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked Trump what stage the war with the Islamic Republic had reached, considering that the US has yet to secure Iran’s fissile material, accoridng to a report by RT. 

“Well, we’ll get that at some point, whatever we want,” he said. “We have it surveilled, you know, I did a thing called Space Force… If anybody got near the place, we will know about it. And we’ll blow them up.”

The US Stole Enriched Uranium From Venezuela

Iran’s nuclear program has been a sticking point in peace negotiations.  Russia has repeatedly offered to aid in the peace process and help remove the material.

“Not only did we make such an offer, but we already implemented it once before, back in 2015. Iran has complete trust in us, and not without reason,” Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists during Victory Day celebrations in Moscow on Saturday. Russia has never violated its agreements and continues to cooperate with Iran on its peaceful nuclear energy programs, he added.

Iran retains more than 400 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, according to International Atomic Energy Agency estimates. Weapons-grade levels typically require 90% enrichment and higher. –RT

Iran has consistently refused to hand over its uranium stockpile or halt its civilian nuclear program. Tehran has also demanded that Washington provide guarantees of non-aggression and remove its forces from the region in order to progress peace talks. Iran has also denied it has plans to build a nuclear bomb and maintains that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
