US Energy Secretary Confirms Department Ready to Remove Iranian Nuclear Material

What was said

"The nuclear expertise in the United States is within my department. They are ready. They've been monitoring what's happening in Iran, and they've been involved in the dialogues about how would we handle this material, where would we take it, what would we do with it. Iran has nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%. There's many ways that that can be achieved, but that must be achieved."

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated on Face the Nation that the Department of Energy has personnel ready and actively planning how to physically remove nearly 1,000 pounds of weapons-grade uranium from Iran and dismantle enrichment sites. This marks the first time a senior Trump official has publicly confirmed operational readiness for direct action on Iranian nuclear material.
