Netanyahu says Iran war 'not over' amid fragile US ceasefire






Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that the war with Iran is “not over”, despite a fragile US-brokered ceasefire.



In an interview aired on CBS 60 Minutes, Netanyahu said Iran’s highly enriched uranium must be removed and its enrichment facilities dismantled.



"Now, we've degraded a lot of it," Netanyahu said, referring to Iran’s nuclear capabilities, its allied forces across the region and its missile production. " But all that is still there, and there's work to be done."



"You go in, and you take it out," Netanyahu said, outlining what he described as a potential approach.

He added that reaching an agreement would be “the best way” to remove Iran’s highly enriched uranium.



Netanyahu declined to set a timeline for any action if talks fail.



"I'm not going to give a timetable to it, but I'm going to say that's a terrifically important mission," he said.
