There is an option to physically extract Iran’s enriched uranium from the country, former defense minister Yoav Gallant told Army Radio in a Monday morning interview, following a renewed wave of missile attacks from Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Gallant, such an operation would be dangerous, but “worth paying the price to avoid an existential risk, I never sent people on more dangerous operations than what I did myself.”<\/p>\n

Gallant also called out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> for his “display of weakness in the last month,” claiming that Israel is now “paying a heavy price” for it.<\/p>\n

“Netanyahu is bringing back the equation perception,” he said.<\/p>\n

Iran’s enriched uranium has been a point of contention in the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran.<\/p>\n

According to the president, a military operation to forcibly remove Iran’s<\/a> enriched uranium supplies would take at least two weeks.<\/p>\n

“Getting there [Iran] is not like Venezuela. You have to be there for two weeks. You need a lot of equipment,” Trump said.<\/p>\n
