Iran says US airman rescue may have been cover to 'steal enriched uranium'

Iran says US airman rescue may have been cover to 'steal enriched uranium' Iran's foreign ministry said on Monday that a US operation to rescue a downed airman may have been a cover to "steal enriched uranium" from the Islamic republic. On Sunday, President Donald Trump said the US recovered a second crew member of an F-15E that went down over Iran on Friday in what he called a "daring" search and rescue operation. Iran's military has called it "a deception and escape mission", insisting it was "completely foiled".
