U.S. Military Proposed Plan to Seize Iran's Enriched Uranium in May; Trump Rejected on Concerns of Retaliation

According to Jin10, the U.S. military prepared an operational plan in May to deploy ground forces to seize Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, particularly from underground facilities near Isfahan and Natanz, according to multiple sources. On May 19, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Kaine briefed President Trump on the proposal. The plan was rejected after Trump received warnings that such action could trigger strong Iranian retaliation, prolong conflict, and destabilize the global economy. U.S. military assessments rated the operation's acceptable risk level as "high to extremely high," meaning it could cause substantial American casualties even if successful.
