WASHINGTON – The US news website Axios reported that the United States is considering the option of sending special forces to Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
Two sources with knowledge of the issue told Axios such operations were part of a menu of options presented to Trump before the war.
The sources pointed out that the administration has discussed two options: removing the material from Iran entirely, or bringing in nuclear experts to dilute it on-site.
The sources added that any mission from this kind would likely involve special operators alongside nuclear scientists, possibly from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
