Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium must be removed before the US-Israeli war against Tehran could be considered finished.
“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 told CBS’s “60 Minutes”.
Iran imposed a blockade on the vital Strait of Hormuz early in the war, sending global oil prices soaring and rattling financial markets.
It has since set up a payment mechanism to extract tolls from shipping crossing the strait, but US officials have stressed it would be “unacceptable” for Tehran to control an international waterway and the route for a fifth of the world’s oil.Latest News, Breaking News & Top News Stories | The Express TribuneafpRead More
