Benjamin Netanyahu has said the war with Iran will continue as long as the country has a stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU), which could be used to make nuclear warheads.
“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,†the Israeli prime minister told the CBS programme 60 Minutes, according to an excerpt published before its broadcast.

He said that the US president, Donald Trump, had told him he wants “to go in thereâ€.
