U.S. and Israeli authorities have reportedly been considering a special operations ground raid to extract or otherwise neutralize Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium. TWZ previously explored this exact scenario, given that this nuclear material is understood to be stored in deep underground bunkers, presenting challenges for attempting to achieve this objective from the air alone. U.S. and Israeli special operations forces have actively trained for these kinds of missions for decades, and Israel has demonstrated its ability and willingness to carry out complex raids on subterranean facilities, but any such operation would still face immense risks and uncertainties.
Multiple outlets have now reported on deliberations within the U.S. and Israeli governments over a ground raid targeting Iran’s enriched uranium stocks this past weekend, citing unnamed sources. It is unclear whether the mission being considered would be carried out by U.S. or Israeli forces, or be conducted jointly by both parties.

NBC News reported last week that President Trump had “privately expressed serious interest” in sending “a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes” into Iran.
The U.S. government says that preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is a core goal of its current operations targeting the country. If the Iranian government were to collapse, and do so suddenly, there would be additional concerns about the proliferation of the country’s nuclear material, including to regional proxies and terrorist groups, as well as other potential buyers on the black market.
Hey that looks like boots on the ground to secure a highly radioactive substance in an enemy contested area.
Yeah that’s a cluster fuck waiting to happen.
Iran watches the invaders enter their territory, no contest. Invaders go after what they think is a large supply, it is a sacrificial stockpile, invaders try to leave with their prize, Iran hits em hard with shahed drones. Invaders declare victory??
Even if you get it out, you have now stolen nuclear materials from another nation.
That situation becoming normal isn’t something I want to think about.
Or rig it with explosives. While filling it with folks willing to fight and die.
I would not recommend blowing up a team transporting a nuclear stockpile.
Commando Raid To Secure Iran’s Enriched Uranium May Become A Very Risky Necessity
No it fucking won’t. Stay the fuck out of Iran.
Since Iran has maintained a Fatwa on nuclear weapons for generations, making them Crimes Against God, the only interpretation that remains for this action remains:
“We have to make sure they’re as dependent on oil as us.”
America really is israel’s bitch.
Safe in the hands of the only country that has used nuclear weapons?
Hey look this time its not about the oil, its about the Epstein files and uranium! How exciting but also probably oil
