Brief

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the war with Iran is 'not over,' citing the need to secure nuclear material still present in the country.

In a recent interview with CBS' 60 Minutes, Netanyahu highlighted the urgency of addressing Iran's highly enriched uranium, stating, 'You go in, and you take it out.' He did not elaborate on whether US or Israeli special forces would be involved in such operations, but he noted that President Donald Trump has expressed a desire to take action against Iran.

Netanyahu characterized the mission to remove nuclear material as 'terrifically important' and suggested that negotiating an agreement with Iran regarding its nuclear program would be the most effective approach moving forward. His comments underscore the ongoing tensions and military actions between the US-Israeli alliance and Iran, which have escalated in recent months.
