Trump: "Joint Disposal of HEU if Agreement Reached... Military Action if Talks Fail"

Trump's Interview with NBC News

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on the 7th (local time) that if a peace agreement is reached, the United States will cooperate with Iran to retrieve and dispose of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU). However, he added that if the agreement falls apart, the U.S. will remove and dispose of the HEU through military action.

In an interview broadcast on NBC that day, President Trump addressed the key issue of how to handle Iran's highly enriched uranium in the peace talks, saying, "If we agree to establish a friendly relationship, we will all go together," and added, "Whether it is disposed of on site or moved elsewhere for disposal, we will remove it and dispose of it."

He went on to say, "We will do it whether we go with them or without them," emphasizing, "But there will be no one pointing guns at us."

He continued, "If there is no agreement with Iran, we will strike them very hard with military force," adding, "Only after that will we go in (to retrieve the highly enriched uranium), and in any case, our safety will be guaranteed."

Regarding the status of negotiations with Iran, President Trump said they are "very close" to reaching an agreement, but noted, "There are still a few issues left. They don't seem to be major problems."
