Washington: US President Donald Trump has issued a dramatic warning over Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, claiming the material is under constant surveillance by the US Space Force and threatening military action against anyone attempting to access it.
In a televised interview aired this week, Trump said the United States is closely monitoring Iran’s underground nuclear material despite reports that much of it remains buried beneath damaged nuclear facilities after recent strikes. “If anybody gets near the place, we will know about it, and we’ll blow them up,” Trump said while discussing Iran’s highly enriched uranium reserves.
The remarks come at a time of renewed global anxiety over Iran’s nuclear programme and fragile ceasefire negotiations between Washington and Tehran. According to reports, the US administration wants Iran to transfer its enriched uranium outside the country and permanently halt enrichment activities, while Tehran continues to insist on its right to maintain a domestic nuclear programme.
Trump also claimed that the US Space Force is actively tracking Iranian nuclear sites from space, describing the monitoring operation as “constant surveillance”. He further suggested that American forces could strike “every single target” in Iran within weeks if tensions escalate again.
The issue has gained even more attention after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly said the conflict with Iran cannot truly end until the enriched uranium is physically removed from the country.
While Trump projected confidence, the aggressive rhetoric has intensified fears of another major confrontation in West Asia. Oil markets have already reacted nervously, with crude prices rising sharply amid uncertainty over the future of the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing diplomatic deadlock.
For now, the uranium remains underground. But politically, it has become the centre of a much larger battle involving military power, global diplomacy and the possibility of another regional conflict.
