Trump: Iran didn’t have time to move enriched uranium before US strikes

US President Donald Trump says Iran was not able to move highly enriched uranium from key facilities before they were hit by American bombs on Sunday.

“We think we hit them so hard and so fast they didn’t get to move, and if you knew about that material, it’s very hard, and very dangerous to move,” he says at a press conference at the NATO Summit in The Hague.

“Oh yeah, we think we got it. We think it’s covered with granite and steel.”
