Informed American press reports have revealed that the US administration recently halted the execution of a specialized military plan that included deploying special ground forces to seize highly enriched uranium stockpiles within Iranian territory. The decision to halt was prompted
by security and military warnings about the risks of igniting a large-scale regional conflict and the potential for significant human casualties. According to the leaked details, the proposed plan involved sending specialized units to raid fortified underground nuclear facilities to
take control of nuclear materials. These military options were reviewed at the US Central Command headquarters; however, intelligence estimates led to freezing the operation due to fears of a violent Iranian response that could prolong the conflict and lead to
catastrophic repercussions for the global economy. Military experts expressed doubts about the logistical feasibility of the operation, given the field complexities represented by deep and fortified tunnel networks containing the nuclear materials. Despite halting this operation, Washington continues to view
the enriched uranium file with grave concern, amid growing warnings about Tehran approaching military-grade enrichment levels. US intelligence fears that any direct military escalation could push Tehran to threaten international shipping routes in strategic straits, which would deal a severe
blow to global supply chains.
