Trump Weighs Military Operation to Extract Iran’s Uranium: WSJ
Pentagon planners prepare for a risky mission to seize 40 to 50 uranium containers to prevent Iran's nuclear weapon capability, while diplomatic efforts continue.
- According to the Wall Street Journal, the White House is reviewing military contingency plans to physically extract or destroy Iran’s stockpiles of enriched uranium, estimated at over 1,000 pounds, to prevent further nuclear escalation.
- This potential operation would likely coincide with the proposed seizure of Kharg Island, aiming to strip Tehran of both its primary economic leverage and its strategic deterrent simultaneously.

- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signaled earlier this month that Washington maintains military alternatives if Tehran refuses to relinquish nuclear capabilities, though the administration remains focused on diplomatic negotiations.
