The United States military has reportedly drawn up an extraordinary wartime contingency plan at the request of Donald Trump that includes a high-risk operation to seize Iran’s highly enriched uranium reserves. The move could be one of the most ambitious and unprecedented military missions in modern history, The Washington Post reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.The proposal involves securing approximately 1,000 pounds of radioactive material from within Iran. According to a report, the plan is not a conventional attack and would require a large-scale, intensive ground-level operation inside hostile territory. Military planners have designed a complex logistical sequence. The US military would need to enter Iran, transport excavation equipment, and build a temporary runway capable of handling heavy cargo aircraft. These planes would then be used to extract uranium from the site. The operation could involve hundreds or even thousands of troops and last several weeks, significantly increasing the risk to Iranian security.This report comes after Trump in his recent Iran address said that the war will end very soon and reiterated that the US will continue the operation for the next two to three weeks.US officials recently offered Iran a 15-point framework aimed at ending the conflict, which reportedly included a demand that Tehran surrender its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which Donald Trump has called “nuclear dust.”Iran rejected the proposal, although in talks shortly before the war began, it had indicated a willingness to reduce its uranium enrichment levels rather than abandon it altogether.US officials recently offered Iran a 15-point framework aimed at ending the conflict, which reportedly included a demand that Tehran surrender its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which Donald Trump has called “nuclear dust.”Iran rejected the proposal, although in talks shortly before the war began, it had indicated a willingness to reduce its uranium enrichment levels rather than abandon it altogether.
