(Central News Agency, Washington, 4th, Combined Foreign Reports) US President Trump said today that currently only the United States and China can extract enriched uranium from Iran's buried nuclear facilities. He also said that these facilities were severely damaged in airstrikes, making it very difficult to extract anything.
According to Fox News, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office: "We attacked their nuclear facilities, and those facilities were completely destroyed."
He also said: "It turns out CNN was wrong. They said before, 'Maybe those facilities weren't damaged much.' In fact, it was bombed so badly there that now no one knows if there's any way to get the enriched uranium out."
Trump then pointed out that currently only the United States and China have the equipment capable of reaching that location.
He said: "We are the only country with equipment powerful enough to go that deep into the mountain, but that mountain crushed the nuclear facility."
Trump cited an assessment by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), saying the agency also agrees with his statement.
He said: "As you know, now the International Atomic Energy Agency also supports our statement. They think it's quite difficult to get in there, but we will definitely find a way to handle it." (Translation: Chen Yuting) 1150605
