The United States is considering a high-risk military operation to send special forces into Iran to seize its stockpile of enriched uranium, estimated at around 1,000 pounds enriched to near weapons-grade levels of 60%, according to U.S. officials. President Donald Trump has not made a final decision and is weighing the risks of the complex mission, which aims to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
A series of airstrikes targeted multiple sites in Iran's Isfahan and Tehran provinces on March 7, 2026, reportedly killing 11 people and damaging military and nuclear-related facilities.
