The US military developed options, including a potential ground operation involving special forces, to seize highly enriched uranium from Iran. These plans were reportedly considered in response to concerns about Iran’s nuclear program and the potential for weaponization. Sources indicate the proposals were presented to then-President Donald Trump, who ultimately decided against authorizing any action. The plans involved a potential seizure of uranium, though details regarding the location and quantity remain undisclosed. While the specific triggers for considering the operation are not fully clear, it reflects heightened tensions between the US and Iran during the Trump administration. The proposals are now being re-examined amid current concerns over Iran’s nuclear advancements and stalled negotiations regarding a revived nuclear deal. Current officials have not indicated whether the plans will be implemented.
