Trump says Iran had no time to move enriched uranium before US strike

US President Donald Trump once again denied that Iran had shielded or relocated its enriched uranium stockpiles ahead of a surprise US strike, saying Tehran had neither the time nor the means to do so.

“They didn't move anything. You know, they moved themselves. They were all trying to live,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News, set to air in full on Sunday.

Trump said moving those uranium stockpiles would have been “very heavy, very, very heavy” and “very dangerous to do.”

The president added that the operation came with little warning. “Nobody thought we’d go after that site, because everybody said that site is impenetrable.”
