Trump Considered and Rejected Risky Mission to Recover Uranium from IranPreviousNext

Former US President Donald Trump revealed he considered but ultimately rejected a high-risk military operation to retrieve enriched uranium from Iran, citing the mission's complexity and danger. He described the uranium as "entombed" and not posing an immediate threat, stating the US still has the capability to carry out such an operation if needed. Trump also noted that Washington does not require a deal with Iran to obtain the material and commented on the possibility of meeting Iran's Supreme Leader if an agreement is reached.
