Iran live updates: US forces conduct ‘self-defense’ strikes in Iran, CENTCOM says

President Donald Trump said Iran’s enriched uranium can be turned and destroyed in the U.S., but that his preference is for it to be destroyed “in place” or at “another acceptable location,” with IAEA oversight.

“The Enriched Uranium (Nuclear Dust!) will either be immediately turned over to the United States to be brought home and destroyed or, preferably, in conjunction and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran, destroyed in place or, at another acceptable location, with the Atomic Energy Commission, or its equivalent, being witness to this process and event,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform.

This presents a shift as Trump has long demanded that Iran hand over its enriched uranium to the U.S. as a sticking point of any potential deal.

In April, Trump said: “The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear ‘Dust,’ created by our great B2 Bombers – No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form.”

Last week, Trump said that getting the enriched uranium is important for the U.S. “psychologically.”

Trump has also repeatedly insisted that Iran has admitted to him that only the U.S. has the capability to uncover and obtain the so-called “nuclear dust.”
