US President Donald Trump said that Washington plans to retrieve Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium once the conflict ends, which has been a major stumbling block in the negotiations between the warring nations.He emphasised that even though accessing the nuclear material remains a significant challenge, Washington still intends to secure it.“As far as getting it (enriched uranium) is very, the B-2 bombers did a job like nobody’s ever seen. In the night, with no moon, dead darkness, at 1:00 in the morning or so, they dropped those bombs. The biggest, just about as big a bomb as you can ever find,” Trump said on Wednesday.The US president further stressed that he would seek to retrieve the material after the conflict ends, stating that he does not want to risk American personnel while fighting continues.“Very hard to get that material, but I still nevertheless want it. And, I don’t want to do it if we’re in conflict. I don’t want to put men in that kind of danger. I remember Jimmy Carter had some bad problems in Iran with the hostages. I don’t want to ever put our people in that kind of danger. But when it’s over, as of this moment, it’s agreed that we will go in with them. We will get it, and we will destroy it. It will be destroyed,” he added.Also Read | Stunning rebuke for Trump as 4 Republicans join Democrats to pass resolution halting Iran warIran talks could yield results by the weekend, says TrumpPOTUS said that negotiations with Iran were going “very well” and could yield results over the coming weekend.Story continues below this ad“I hear the negotiation itself is going very well, actually,” Trump told reporters, adding of a potential deal: “It might not happen… It could happen over the weekend.”He further said that he wants the discussions on Lebanon to be kept separate from US-Iran talks.“I’d like to separate it, I’d like to have a separate thing because it is, it is separate,” Trump told reporters.Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the war with the US-Israel will only end when hostilities in Lebanon end.Story continues below this ad“We hold the same position regarding a ceasefire, and the same position regarding ending the war,” Araghchi said in an interview with Arab media outlet Al Mayadeen, shared by Iran’s foreign ministry.The Express Global Desk at indianexpress.com which delivers authoritative, verified, and context-driven coverage of key international developments shaping global politics, policy, and migration trends.
