Special Forces To Iran?

The US and Israel are considering sending special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which could be converted to weapons-grade within weeks. This operation aims to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, a key objective of President Trump. The mission could involve removing the material from Iran or diluting it on-site, with potential involvement from the International Atomic Energy Agency. The discussion is in its early stages, and the operation would only occur after both countries deem Iran’s military incapable of posing a serious threat.
