President Donald Trump has elaborated on his claim that Iran will surrender its enriched uranium, stating the US will use excavators to physically dig up and retrieve the material. He described the surrender as a 'big deal' and now says the uranium will be transferred from Iran to America very soon. This follows Iran's Foreign Ministry declaring its uranium 'as sacred as the soil of Iran' and vowing it will not be transferred under any circumstances. The announcement comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions, including a US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and negotiations set for Monday in Pakistan.
