Summary
President Donald Trump indicated the United States may resume hostilities with Iran, emphasizing a demand to acquire Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
A classified CENTCOM briefing outlined a special‑operations plan to infiltrate Iran, seize roughly 440 kg of 60%‑enriched uranium, and possibly strike infrastructure or control the Hormuz Strait. The operation could involve up to 1,000 troops and confront radiation hazards.
Trump repeatedly said, “We’ll get it one way or another,” while the IAEA warned the material is a short step from weapons‑grade and its location remains unverified after recent strikes.
If pursued, the move would heighten U.S.–Iran tensions, threaten global oil flows through Hormuz, and pressure diplomatic negotiations, reshaping regional security and market stability.
