Remarks by Donald Trump on Iran’s highly enriched uranium (HEU) stockpile have stirred fresh debate over the objectives and outcomes of the ongoing US-Israeli offensive. Downplaying concerns, Trump said the material—believed to be stored deep underground—could be tracked remotely, raising questions about whether neutralising Iran’s nuclear capability remains a central war aim.
Asked about the stockpile by Reuters news agency on Wednesday, Trump said: “That’s so far underground, I don’t care about that.”
“We’ll always be watching it by satellite,” he added.
Factcheck:
Trump stated that he “doesn’t care” about Iran’s uranium stockpile in the context of:
- saying uranium levels are “not the issue”
- arguing that Iran’s behavior, not enrichment, is the real problem
- suggesting that uranium concerns are “overblown” compared to Iran’s regional actions
He did not say uranium is harmless or irrelevant — he said it’s not his focus.
