US to Extract Nuclear Materials from Bombed Iranian Site: Trump
The United States intends to extract nuclear materials from facilities in Iran damaged during American bombings, but this will be a difficult task, US President Donald Trump has claimed.
“We are going to get them out, but it is a difficult task because only we and China have the equipment needed to extract it at all,” Trump said during a meeting with Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in France.
The American leader added that the materials in question are nuclear materials worth about half a million dollars. He noted that, despite their relatively low value, the US still intends to extract them.
Meanwhile, the signing of a memorandum between the United States and Iran is scheduled for June 19 in Burgenstock, Switzerland, Swiss Foreign Ministry Communications chief Nicolas Bideau told Sputnik on Tuesday.
"At this stage, the signing of the agreement is scheduled for Friday, June 19, in Burgenstock, in the canton of Nidwalden. This location was proposed by Pakistani and Qatari mediators, as well as the United States and Iran," Bideau said.
Switzerland is acting as a mediator, creating the necessary practical and diplomatic conditions for holding this meeting on its territory, the spokesperson added.
On Sunday, Iran and the United States confirmed that work on a memorandum had been completed, with the document set to be signed in Switzerland on June 19. Following the announcement, US President Donald Trump said that he was allowing the US naval blockade to be lifted. Iran confirmed that the US had begun lifting it.
US Vice President J. D. Vance on June 16 said that the US and the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) will help Iran destroy its stockpiles of enriched uranium, and that this is allegedly reflected in the memorandum of understanding.
