Trump Considers Military Operation to Remove Uranium from Iran

Donald Trump is considering a military operation in Iran aimed at removing approximately half a ton of uranium, according to a Wall Street Journal report. This operation would require the entry of US forces into Iranian territory for several days. Although Mr. Trump has not yet made a final decision, he remains open to the idea, as he believes it could prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The White House press secretary stated that any Pentagon preparations do not mean the president has made a decision. Mr. Trump stated that Iran must comply with US demands, or they “won’t have a country” and that “they will give us the nuclear powder.”
