US Plans 'Largest Special Forces Op' to Seize Iran's Nuclear Material
•US and Israel reportedly considering a high-stakes military operation to seize or neutralize Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile.
•Experts suggest this could be the "largest special forces operation in history," requiring elite combat units, engineers, and nuclear scientists.
•Iran possesses significant 60% enriched uranium, technically close to weapons-grade, though international agencies confirm no active weaponization program.
•Two main paths identified: physically extracting uranium canisters or on-site neutralization by diluting the material with natural uranium.
•Operation would target sites like Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center, Natanz, and Fordow, requiring over 1,000 personnel and continuous air cover.
