Trump Weighs Military Operation to Extract Iran’s Uranium: WSJ
- President Donald Trump is considering a military operation to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium from Iran, which could place U.S. forces inside Iranian territory for several days or longer.
- The uranium is believed to be stored at two key sites in Iran, Isfahan and Natanz, and seizing it would be a complex and risky mission involving combat troops, engineers, and special operations teams amid Iranian air defenses and booby traps.
- While preparations for multiple military options are underway, including deploying additional troops, a diplomatic resolution remains possible with indirect talks ongoing through intermediaries such as Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt.
- Trump has directed advisers to press Tehran to surrender the uranium as a condition for ending the war, warning that non-compliance will have severe consequences.
