Trump says US will work with Iran to ‘dig up’ enriched uranium
President Donald Trump said Wednesday the US will work with Iran to ‘dig up and remove’ its enriched uranium that was buried under joint US-Israeli strikes last summer.
Trump said on social media: ‘There will be no enrichment of Uranium’ and that none of the material had been touched since the June attacks.
He previously said the US would retrieve the deeply buried material, which is expected to be an intensive undertaking, if it struck an agreement with Iran.
‘We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran,’ Trump said.
Although Trump had said on Tuesday the US found a 10-point ceasefire proposal from Iran ‘workable,’ the president on Wednesday suggested many of the points in his 15-point plan, which Iran had rejected, had been agreed to.
Iran has not said that, nor has it confirmed it would work with the US to retrieve the buried uranium.
