Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump hit out at lawmakers who backed restrictions on action against Iran, calling them “unpatriotic” and saying the US would prevail “one way or the other… it’s going to be militarily or on paper.” Trump claimed the US could take Iran’s enriched uranium if it chose to, but saw “no reason” to do so. “We could get it right now.
