‘You go in and you take it out,’ the PM said when asked how the nuclear material could be dealt with
2-MIN READ2-MIN ListenAgence France-PressePublished: 12:46am, 11 May 2026Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium must be “taken out” before the US-Israeli war against Iran can be considered over, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview on Sunday.
“It’s not over, because there’s still nuclear material – enriched uranium – that has to be taken out of Iran. There’s still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled,” Netanyahu said in an excerpt of an interview due to air later Sunday on CBS’s 60 Minutes programme.
“You go in and you take it out,” the Israeli leader said when asked how the uranium could be removed.
Netanyahu said that US President Donald Trump had a similar position.
“I’m not going to talk about military means, but the president, what President Trump has said to me – ‘I want to go in there.’”
However, Netanyahu’s statement was in contrast to Trump’s public position.
