YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Amid a two-week ceasefire deal and claims by Trump that Iran won’t be allowed to enrich uranium, Pete Hegseth took questions tied to Iranian regime and the temporary deal during a Pentagon press conference.

While Trump suggest that that the U.S. will work with Iran to “dig up and remove” the enriched uranium that remains in the country, the regime has not publicly indicated it will turn over the uranium or stop enriching. In launching the Iran war, Trump said he wanted to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but the country retains a stockpile of highly-enriched uranium.
