"“You go in, and you take it out,” Netanyahu said in an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes when asked about Iran's highly enriched uranium. “All that is still there, and there's work to be done.” Netanyahu declined to elaborate when asked if US or Israeli special forces would enter Iran to remove the nuclear material. He said President Donald Trump has indicated that he wished to go into Iran."
"“I think it can be done physically,” Netanyahu told CBS. “That's not the problem. That's a terrifically important mission.” The best way forward would be an agreement with Iran on the nuclear material, he said. Iran said Sunday it submitted a response to the latest US proposal to end the 10-week-long war."
"Netanyahu's comments on US television echoed his call last month for removing enriched nuclear material from Iran with or without an agreement, after Israel and the US established a ceasefire with Iran on April 8. At the time, he said “the campaign is not yet over.” In recent days, US officials including Trump have said that they were waiting for the response before taking any major action."
The conflict between the US and Israel and Iran is not over because nuclear material remains in Iran and still needs removal. Netanyahu said the approach is to enter and take the material out, emphasizing that work remains to be done. He declined to specify whether US or Israeli special forces would conduct such an operation, but said Trump indicated a desire to go into Iran. Netanyahu stated the mission could be done physically and described it as terrifically important. He said the best path forward would be an agreement with Iran regarding the nuclear material. Iran submitted a response to the latest US proposal to end the 10-week war, and US officials said they were waiting for that response before major action. Netanyahu previously called for removing enriched material with or without an agreement after a ceasefire was established.
