Netanyahu says there's still "work to be done" before Iran war ends | 60 Minutes
In a Nutshell
Netanyahu states the war with Iran is not over, as Iran retains nuclear material, enriched uranium, enrichment sites, proxies, and ballistic missiles that must be eliminated. He emphasizes removing highly enriched uranium—ideally through agreement but possibly by force using special forces—without detailing military plans or timelines. Achieving this is a "terrifically important mission" with work still ahead.

Is the war with Iran over? And if it isn't, who will decide when it is? Netanyahu: I think it accomplished a great deal, but it's not over because there's still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran. There is still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce. Now, we've degraded a lot of it, but all of that is still there, and there's work to be done.
How do you envision the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran? You go in and you take it out. With what? Special forces from Israel, special forces from the United States? Well, I'm not going to talk about military means, but what President Trump has said to me, I want to go in there. And I think it can be done physically. That's not the problem. If you have an agreement and you go in and you take it out. Why not? That's the best way.
What if there isn't an agreement? Can it be taken out by force? Well, you're going to ask me these questions. I'm going to dodge them because I'm not going to talk about our military possibilities, plans, or anything of the kind.
I'm just trying to get at, how long is it going to take to achieve that aim? I'm not going to give a timetable to it, but I'm going to say that's a terrifically important mission.
