Overview
- Haley, speaking on CNN on Sunday, said the U.S. will probably send a special-operations team into Iran to seize enriched uranium and estimated the mission would take about a week to ten days.
- The New York Post reported that President Trump has weighed authorizing such a raid but has not approved it as he warns Iran that U.S. satellites are watching nuclear sites and that strikes could follow any recovery attempt.
- Haley called the operation dangerous and argued it would remove a key tool of the Iranian regime that threatens U.S. allies.
- She backed the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a fast, finite push to clear mines and reopen a route that typically carries about 135 ships a day but now faces a backlog of roughly 400, which she said is hurting the global economy.
- Asked about 2028, Haley said she will not run for president in the next cycle.
