The United States is reportedly considering sending special forces into Iran to secure the country’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium amid escalating conflict in the Middle East. Officials fear the material, which is close to weapons-grade level, could be moved or used to develop nuclear weapons during the war. Discussions between U.S. and Israeli officials include plans to remove or neutralize the uranium if necessary. However, Donald Trump said the U.S. has not made a final decision on deploying ground troops. Analysts warn that such a mission would be highly dangerous and could significantly escalate the ongoing regional conflict. (PC: AFP)
