Netanyahu Says Iran Conflict Not Over Until Enriched Uranium Removed, Trump Rejects Peace Proposal

Published: May 11, 2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the war with Iran unfinished unless its enriched uranium is removed and facilities dismantled, as U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed Iran's ceasefire response as 'totally unacceptable.' Iran, seeking an end to hostilities across multiple fronts, delivered its proposal through Pakistani mediators.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military conflict with Iran will not end until the country's stockpile of enriched uranium is removed and enrichment sites dismantled, in a CBS News '60 Minutes' interview aired May 11, 2026. Netanyahu stated, 'You go in and you take it out,' when asked how the material would be removed, asserting that the operation remains incomplete despite ongoing strikes.

U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran's formal response to a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal, calling it 'TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE' in a social media post early Thursday, without elaborating on specific objections. Iran had transmitted its position through Pakistani diplomatic channels, seeking negotiations to permanently end the war, including in Lebanon where Israel is engaged with Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces.

Iranian state television reported that Tehran's proposal aimed to halt hostilities on all fronts and ensure the security of regional shipping lanes. There has been no indication of planned direct talks, and both Israeli and U.S. officials have indicated military operations may continue. The White House is expected to release a formal statement later today.
