Iran to use enriched uranium for nuclear submarines, says official
Iran will retain its enriched uranium for use in nuclear submarine production and has informed Russia, according to a senior security official.
US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery that the war against Iran would soon conclude, but insisted Washington would only accept a "total victory." The president emphasized that the American military campaign inflicted severe damage on Iran that would take decades to repair, potentially 25 years to rebuild.
Trump highlighted that 18 US personnel had been killed during the conflict, and he praised the troops for preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, describing the Islamic Republic as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. The ceremony also featured Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was introduced to the audience and received enthusiastic applause, with Trump praising his leadership and protection of veterans.
Despite a Republican-controlled House blocking an impeachment attempt against Hegseth, Trump reaffirmed his support for the Secretary of War, dismissing the accusations as a "political spectacle" and a "farce."
