Follow Recovering Iran’s remaining highly enriched uranium stockpile believed to be sitting in a storage facility deep underground, an objective the Trump administration has been discussing, would require a significant number of US ground troops beyond a small special operations footprint, seven current and former officials familiar with the military planning told CNN. The US bombing campaign that struck three Iranian nuclear facilities last June did not destroy all of that country’s highly enriched uranium stockpile, the material needed to create a nuclear weapon. Much of it is believed to be at Iran’s Isfahan nuclear site, said three of the sources. President Donald Trump has made complete elimination of Iran’s nuclear capability one of his stated aims of the war. If the Trump administration went ahead with an operation to retrieve the uranium, it could mark the first major commitment of US ground forces as part of the campaign, an escalation that woul…

Iran’s enriched uranium should be ‘neutralized,’ supervised by UN: Macron Iran’s stocks of enriched uranium need to be neutralized and placed under the supervision of the UN atomic agency, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday.For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.“We will ensure that the enriched uranium capabilities that remain are properly neutralized,” Macron said after US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Iran. The sensitive stocks should be “either taken out, or diluted” and then looked after by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Macron said. France, Britain ready to deploy in Hormuz after US-Iran deal, Macron saysFrance and Britain are ready to lead a mission in Hormuz strait with the support of the Netherlands and Italy to help reopening the sea lane after the deal agreed upon by the US and Iran becomes a reality, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday.The mission could be deployed within two or three days, he added.Macron said reopening the Hormuz strait with tolls

'We will get it and destroy it': Trump says US will retrieve Iran's ... US President Donald Trump said that Washington plans to retrieve Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium once the conflict ends, which has been a major stumbling block in the negotiations between the warring nations. He emphasised that even though accessing the nuclear material remains a significant challenge, Washington still intends to secure it. “As far as getting it (enriched uranium) is very, the B-2 bombers did a job like nobody’s ever seen. In the night, with no moon, dead darkness, at 1:00 in the morning or so, they dropped those bombs. The biggest, just about as big a bomb as you can ever find,” Trump said on Wednesday. The US president further stressed that he would seek to retrieve the material after the conflict ends, stating that he does not want to risk American personnel while fighting continues. “Very hard to get that material, but I still nevertheless want it. And, I don’t want to do it if we’re in conflict. I don’t want to put men in that kind of danger. I remember Jimmy Carter had some bad problems in Iran with the hostages. I don’t want to ever put our people in that kind of danger.…

Report: Iran fortifies uranium stockpile with booby-trapped entrances Iran has sharply stepped up efforts to secure a stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium, collapsing tunnels and mining entrances to make the material harder to reach, CNN reported, citing five sources familiar with US intelligence. Should the US push for a deal with Iran if it does not address their nuclear missile program The measures have reportedly made access to roughly half a ton of highly enriched uranium significantly more difficult and dangerous than it was only weeks ago, when President Donald Trump was publicly raising the possibility of a US military operation to seize it. The reported fortifications could complicate US efforts to finalize an interim deal with Tehran. Under terms described by a senior US administration official, Iran would be required to hand over its enriched uranium, with the material destroyed and removed as part of a broader arrangement that would also reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end Iranian support for armed groups.

Trump wants Iran's uranium. But can anyone actually get it out? US President Donald Trump announced that a deal between America and Iran is “scheduled to get signed” on Sunday, though Iran has expressed skepticism over the timeline.He said the US military would take over the highly enriched uranium stockpiles “at the appropriate time” after the agreement is signed. Officials have indicated that the proposed deal to end the over three-month-old conflict in West Asia would also include the destruction and removal of uranium stockpiles from Tehran, which acts as a key component for nuclear weapons,BBCreported. Uranium, which is a radioactive element, is made up of characterstics which play significant role in fuelling nuclear power plants, but the chemical element can also be used to develop nuclear weapons. However, it requires being highly enriched, and it causes its own issues,CNNreported. Trump administration has reiterated that Iranian authorities need to hand over the highly enriched uranium, which is over 400 kg but it’s buried deep in the ground after US-Israel launched strikes at the storage facilities in the Islamic Republic in June last year. The US President, while re…

Trump wants Iran's enriched uranium, but Iran left everyone shocked by ... US President Donald Trump has adamantly insisted that Iran must hand over its enriched uranium stockpile for any peace deal to happen between the two warring countries. However, a recent report claims Tehran has manipulated the uranium stockpile, making it more difficult than ever to extract for the US or any other party. In recent weeks, Iran has reportedly destroyed several tunnels at the Isfahan nuclear complex and laid landmines at their entrances, The Times of Israel has claimed in a report. The US and Israeli intelligence believes Iran has stored the uranium stockpile in tunnels beneath the Isfahan complex, but Iran has now deliberately blocked access to the tunnels, ensuring extraction of the fissile material becomes nearly impossible, the report claims. The report, citing US intelligence sources, said that the collapse of the tunnels and the laying of landmines along the access routes have made it extremely risky for any party to venture into the tunnels. However, Iran may not only have made the uranium inaccessible to the United States, but also to itself as most tunnels have been collapsed shut …

Follow Summary Iran has nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, enough for 10 nuclear weapons, according to international inspectors. Nuclear experts say Iran could enrich that material to weapons-grade purity within weeks or even days if it has an operational facility. While there are options to dilute or remove the uranium, it may be difficult to confirm that Iran has destroyed all of its stockpile, according to experts. AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor. What happens to Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, including the 970 pounds that it has highly concentrated to near-weapons grade, is one of the primary sticking points as the US and Iran have trudged through weeks of negotiations to potentially end the Iran war.

Iran uranium sites booby-trapped as Tehran and US move closer to peace ... As theUS and Iran inch closer to a possible peace deal,Tehran has fortified key sites housing its stockpile of highly enriched uranium by collapsing tunnels and planting explosive mines around entrances, according to a CNN report, citing five sources familiar with US intelligence. The measures came weeks after US PresidentDonald Trumppublicly floated the possibility of deploying the American military toseize Iran's enriched uranium reserves.Intelligence sources said the new fortifications have made access to the estimated half-ton of highly enriched uranium far more difficult, dangerous and time-consuming. The development added a new layer of complexity to the Trump administration's proposed deal with Tehran, under whichIranwould hand over its enriched uranium to the US for destruction and removal from the country. According to a senior US official, both sides are edging closer to a deal, though conflicting accounts from Washington and Tehran have left the final terms unclear. Experts warned that retrieving the uranium would now require extensive excavation and de-mining operations. According to CNN, tw…
