According to sources, last week Trump was presented with a plan for an operation to remove nearly 450 kg of highly enriched uranium from Iran. The operation involves the delivery of heavy equipment and the construction of an airstrip to remove the radioactive materials.

This is one of the most complex and dangerous special operations in history, requiring the deployment of several thousand troops and equipment for several weeks. Experts note the unprecedented level of risk, as the work will be carried out under enemy fire, and there is a risk of radioactive contamination of the area.

Iran has rejected US demands to give up its enriched uranium. Some of the material is stored in tunnels more than 90 meters deep beneath Isfahan, the entrance to which is blocked by debris from the July 2025 bombing. Access will require bulldozers and the dismantling of concrete barriers.

Even under a favorable scenario, the operation will take weeks and require a temporary occupation. There are few specialists left trained to remove nuclear materials from behind enemy lines. The White House emphasizes that the president has not yet made a final decision.
