A dangerous new showdown has erupted between President Donald Trump and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei over Tehran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile. Trump vowed that the United States would eventually “get” Iran’s uranium and even hinted that Washington could destroy the material after seizing it. The explosive remarks came after reports that Iran’s top leadership ordered the country’s near-weapons-grade uranium stockpile to remain inside the country, rejecting Western pressure to export the material abroad. Tehran fears surrendering its uranium would leave Iran vulnerable to future military action by the US and Israel.
