U.S. Troop Deployment to Secure Enriched Uranium in Iran

planned

The project involves the potential deployment of U.S. troops into Iran to secure approximately 970 pounds of enriched uranium that could be used by Tehran to build nuclear weapons. The uranium is believed to be buried under rubble at Iranian nuclear sites bombarded by U.S. strikes. The operation would require a sizable troop presence and heavy construction equipment to remove rubble and secure the nuclear material.
