The Pentagon has presented Donald Trump with a plan to seize nearly 1,000 pounds
of highly enriched uranium in Iran, involving ground forces, excavation
equipment and building an airstrip to extract the material. Much of the
stockpile is believed stored near Isfahan and at Natanz nuclear facility.
“This would be one of, if not the largest, most complicated special operations
in history,” said Mick Mulroy, former deputy assistant secretary of defense.
Former officials said the mission could take weeks, require large troop
deployments and carry significant risk, including potential casualties and
exposure to radioactive material.
