Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo pressed President Donald Trump on whether hundreds of pounds of enriched uranium were removed and hidden prior to Trump’s Iran airstrikes.
Fallout from the airstrikes on Iran dominated the news this week, as the president and his administration continually complained about the coverage and the leaks casting doubt on his assertion that the strikes “completely obiterated” their nuclear program.
But another issue Trump has pushed back on is the stockpile of 60 percent enriched uranium that may have been removed — which Fox News anchor Bret Baier straight-up asked Vice President JD Vance about without success this week. Trump has insisted that photos potentially showing that removal are actually of Iranians evacuating the sites.
this week’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Sunday Morning Futures,
MARIA BARTIROMO Do you think that the Iranian regime hid some of the enriched uranium before the strikes?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP No, you mean did they take it out of the deep one?
BARTIROMO Because you were pretty clear, you can’t have a weapon, you’re gonna have to come to the talk, something’s gonna happen.
TRUMP I don’t think they did. No, I think, first of all, it’s very hard to do. It’s very dangerous to do, it is very heavy, very, very heavy. It’s a very hard thing to do plus we didn’t give much notice because they didn’t know we were coming until just, you know, then. And nobody thought we’d go after that site because everybody said that site is impenetrable.
BARTIROMO Because I saw reports that there were 400 kilograms, 800 pounds that they moved, but I wonder if it’s traceable. I mean, if they were to have moved something,
TRUMP They didn’t move anything.
BARTIROMO They didn’t move anything.
TRUMP You know, they moved themselves, they were all trying to live, they didn’t move anything.
