The New York Post reported Sunday that the United States is examining the 'most complex operation in its history' to seize nuclear materials in Iran. The report, citing unnamed sources, did not specify which nuclear materials are targeted or the operational timeline. The report comes amid a series of US media reports about potential military operations against Iran's nuclear program. On Saturday, The Zioneer reported that the US is reportedly weighing a special forces seizure of Iran's 441 kg stockpile of highly enriched uranium, sufficient for approximately 11 nuclear warheads. The latest report suggests the US is considering an operation of even greater scope. The report has not been independently verified, and no official confirmation from the US administration has been issued.
