Trump Warns Iran US Will Seize Nuclear Material, Says Space Force Monitoring Sites
President Trump said Sunday that the United States intends to eventually confiscate Iran’s remaining nuclear material and warned that the Islamic Republic’s facilities are under constant surveillance by America’s military space capabilities.
Speaking during an interview on “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson,” Trump made clear that preventing Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program remains a top priority for his administration.
“We’ll get that at some point,” Trump said of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile. “We have it surveilled. You know, I did a thing called Space Force, and they are watching.”
Trump described the surveillance capabilities as extraordinarily advanced, claiming the US can instantly identify anyone approaching sensitive nuclear locations.
“If somebody walked in, they can tell you his name, his address, the number of his badge,” Trump said. “We have that very well surveilled. If anybody got near the place, we will know about it, and we’ll blow them up.”
The president has spent months weighing increasingly aggressive options against Iran after the outbreak of war between the United States, Israel, and the Islamic Republic earlier this year.
In June, the US military carried out strikes on three major Iranian nuclear facilities during Operation Midnight Hammer, a campaign designed to cripple Tehran’s nuclear capabilities.
Despite those attacks, concerns remain that Iran still possesses enriched uranium and other nuclear materials that could potentially be used to restart weapons development.
Steve Witkoff previously warned that Iran claimed to still possess enough material that, if fully enriched, could theoretically support the creation of 11 nuclear weapons.
Benjamin Netanyahu also stressed Sunday that Iran’s nuclear threat has not been fully eliminated.
“All that is still there, and there’s work to be done,” Netanyahu said during an appearance on “60 Minutes,” referring to Iran’s remaining nuclear material.
“You go in, and you take it out,” he added.
Trump acknowledged that negotiations with Iran remain difficult and accused Tehran of repeatedly violating agreements.
“They make a deal, and then they break it,” Trump said.
Still, the president argued Iran has been militarily devastated by the conflict.
“They have no navy,” Trump said. “They have no air force. They have no anti-aircraft weaponry. They have no radar. They have no leaders.”
“The first set, the A-Team, is gone. The B-team is gone, and part of the C-team is gone,” he added.
Trump further claimed that if the United States stopped military pressure immediately, Iran would still need decades to fully rebuild its military infrastructure.
“If we left today, it would take them 20 years to rebuild,” he said.
The comments come as the Trump administration continues indirect negotiations with Tehran over a broader peace framework tied to Iran’s nuclear program and the future of the Strait of Hormuz following months of regional conflict.
