US military has drafted a high-risk plan under President Donald Trump to seize Iran’s enriched uranium from fortified nuclear sites like Isfahan and Natanz. The proposal could deploy hundreds or thousands of troops inside Iran, making it an unprecedented ground operation. The mission involves locating and extracting over 1,000 pounds of radioactive material, some buried under debris after prior strikes. Experts warn the operation would be slow, technically complex, and extremely dangerous, with high risks of escalation. Former officials say international inspectors are better suited for such tasks, but that would require a ceasefire and cooperation from Tehran amid ongoing conflict and rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East region today.
