US Plans to Secure Iran's Nuclear Material Amid Trump's De-escalation Talk
•The Trump administration is intensifying plans to secure or extract Iran’s nuclear material, even as the President signals a potential wind-down of military operations in West Asia.
•Options include deploying elite forces from JSOC to locate and secure Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile, though no final decision has been made.
•President Trump indicated the conflict is nearing its end, stating, "We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East."
•The US strategy has shifted from degrading Iran’s conventional military to ensuring it cannot develop a nuclear weapon, with retrieving enriched uranium remaining an option.
•Experts warn that seizing nuclear material would be extremely challenging and dangerous, especially given Iran's fortified underground facilities.
