Trump is strategizing means to seize Iran's nuclear stockpiles, sources say

The Trump administration has been strategizing methods and options to secure or extract Iran's nuclear materials, according to multiple people briefed on the discussions, as a U.S.-Israel-led military campaign against Tehran enters a more uncertain phase. Planning has centered on the possible deployment of forces from the secretive Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). Iran has amassed approximately 972 pounds of 60%-enriched uranium, which is near weapons-grade. While the U.S. intelligence community previously assessed Iran was not building a weapon, the administration's current goal is ensuring Iran is no longer capable of producing one. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi noted that while a seizure operation is technically possible with elite military capacities, it would be 'very challenging' due to the hazardous nature of uranium hexafluoride gas.
