A planned U.S. military ground mission to secure highly enriched uranium within Iran was reportedly halted by then-President Donald Trump. The operation was conceived during ongoing peace negotiations with Iran, according to a recent media report. Details regarding the timing and specific objectives of the mission remain limited. It is unclear what triggered Trump’s decision to ultimately stop the operation. The report suggests the plan involved a direct attempt to physically acquire Iranian nuclear material. This revelation raises questions about the extent of covert operations considered alongside diplomatic efforts with Iran. The White House has not yet commented on the report.
