US President Donald Trump expressed on his Truth Social platform that recovering uranium from Iran will be a 'long' and 'difficult' process following military operations targeting Tehran's nuclear sites. He referred to Iran's enriched uranium as 'nuclear dust,' a term he uses to describe both the stockpile and remnants from US strikes. Despite Iran's foreign ministry denying any intentions of transferring enriched uranium to the US, Trump maintains that this will ultimately happen. The backdrop to these comments includes joint military actions by the United States and Israel on February 28, aimed at neutralizing what Israel perceives as an existential threat from Iran's nuclear program. Israeli officials have noted an increase in Iran's efforts to develop nuclear weapons since the conclusion of a 12-day conflict last June, which involved significant US bombings of Iranian nuclear facilities.
