material in which uranium that has to be taken out of Iran, there is still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports their ballistic missiles that they still want to produce. Now, we've degraded a lot of it, but all that is still there, and there's work to be done."
Netanyahu added that he would not give a precise timetable how long he would take to remove the enriched uranium, but he said it is a terribly important decision.
