Netanyahu: US-Israel war on Iran is not over

 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett that the war with Iran was "not over," as highly enriched uranium needs to be taken out of Iran and the country's enrichment facilities and proxies need to be dismantled before that.

"It's not over, because there's still nuclear material, enriched uranium, that has to be taken out of Iran. There are still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled," Netanyahu said in an excerpt of an interview due to air later on Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes" program.

"You go in and you take it out," the Israeli leader said when asked how the uranium could be removed. "We've degraded a lot of it, but all that is still there, so there's still work to be done."
