Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country's war with Iran is not yet over, telling US broadcaster CBS that Iran still had enriched uranium and enrichment facilities.
"It’s not over because there's still nuclear material, enriched uranium, that has to be taken out of Iran," he told CBS programme "60 Minutes" on Sunday, according to a preview released in advance.
Netanyahu said that uranium enrichment facilities still needed to be dismantled. "We've degraded a lot of it, but all of that is still there and there's work to be done," he said.
Iran also continued to support proxies such as Lebanon's Hezbollah militia and to produce ballistic missiles, he said.
Asked how the highly enriched uranium should be removed from Iran, Netanyahu said: "You go in and take it out." He declined to say how exactly this would be carried out or by when the material should be removed from Iran.
President Donald Trump also no longer considers the US offensive to be fully over. In the television programme Full Measure, broadcast on Sunday, he walked back statements from early May in which his administration declared hostilities against Iran officially over.
"I said they are defeated, but that doesn't mean they're done," he said.
Trump's comments come about a week after a letter to Congress in which he said that "the hostilities that began on February 28, 2026 have terminated." Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also said the military operation against Iran is over.
