The Pentagon chief stated that Washington is closely monitoring Iran’s enriched uranium and will seize the material if Tehran refuses to hand it over.

Iran must surrender its stockpile of highly enriched uranium or the United States will “get it,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday, while declining to specify how that would be achieved.

The Pentagon Chief noted that the United States has Iran’s stockpile under observation and suggested that another bombing attack, similar to the one conducted against suspected sites in June, could be carried out. He said

We’re watching it. We know what they have, and they will give it up, and we’ll get it, and we’ll take it. If we have to, we can do it in any, any means necessary.
