Washington, United States – Web Desk: U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a potential military operation to secure enriched uranium from Iran, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal.
Citing U.S. officials, the report said the proposed mission would involve extracting approximately 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium from Iranian territory—a complex and high-risk operation that could require American forces to remain inside Iran for several days.
While no final decision has been made, the option is said to be under active consideration as part of Washington’s broader strategy amid escalating tensions with Tehran.
The report also noted that President Trump has instructed senior advisers to intensify pressure on Iran, urging it to hand over its uranium stockpile as a potential condition for ending the ongoing conflict.
U.S. officials indicated that if Iran refuses to comply during negotiations, the possibility of military action remains on the table.
Analysts warn that any such operation would carry significant geopolitical risks, potentially escalating the conflict further and destabilizing the wider Middle East region.
The report added that the United States has previously conducted sensitive and complex missions involving strategic assets, although the scale and risk of any operation inside Iran would represent a major escalation.
The development comes amid heightened global concern over nuclear security, regional stability, and the potential for a broader military confrontation.
