During a press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump asserted that the United States is determined to recover Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, despite Iran's firm stance against relinquishing the material. Trump emphasized, 'We will get it. We don't need it, we don't want it. We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we're not going to let them have it.' This stockpile is estimated to be around 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium, which is believed to have been buried following airstrikes by the United States and Israel nearly a year ago. The retrieval of this uranium is a critical part of Trump's strategy to ensure that Iran does not develop nuclear weapons. In response, Iran's Supreme Leader has issued a directive stating that the near-weapons-grade uranium should not be sent abroad, as confirmed by two senior Iranian sources. Additionally, tensions have escalated with Iran proposing an 'assassination bill' that includes a $58 million bounty for the killing of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
