Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium must be "taken out" before the US-Israeli war against Iran can be considered over, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told an American broadcaster on Sunday. "It's not over, because there's still nuclear material – enriched uranium – that has to be taken out of Iran. There's still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled," Netanyahu said in an interview that aired Sunday on the CBS News programme "60 Minutes." "You go in and you take it out," the Israeli leader said when asked how the uranium could be removed. Netanyahu said US President Donald Trump had a similar position. "I'm not going to talk about military means, but the president, what President Trump has said to me – 'I want to go in there.'"
