US weighs audacious raid to seize Iran's enriched uranium

The US is reportedly considering a covert, high-stakes operation to seize Iran’s enriched uranium from fortified nuclear sites, including Fordo and Isfahan (with Natanz’ Pickaxe Mountain cited), using a large team of special operators and secure-perimeter logistics. Described by experts as potentially the most sophisticated military mission in history, the plan would involve ground assaults, booby-traps, airspace control, and a dangerous exfiltration, highlighting immense logistical and political risks amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program. The story is based on unnamed sources and reflects speculation surrounding US strategy and Iran’s defenses, with the IAEA noting Iran has tens of thousands of pounds of enriched uranium.
