As the U.S.-Israel coalition pounds Iranian targets in the ongoing Operation Epic Fury, Tehran is reporetedly desperately scrambling to recover its enriched uranium from bombed-out facilities. President Trump is now weighing a high-stakes commando raid to neutralize the threat, ensuring Iran never crosses the nuclear threshold that could endanger America and its allies.
This development underscores the regime’s dangerous brinkmanship, revealing just how close the ayatollahs were to weaponizing their program under the nose of global watchdogs.
According to reports, Iranian teams are racing against time to salvage 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium—material that’s a stone’s throw from weapons-grade—from sites hit in the ongoing airstrikes. This comes amid Trump’s indefinite extension of the war timeline, a move that keeps all options open to crush the nuclear ambitions once and for all.

The revelation stems from failed negotiations where Iran brazenly disclosed its stockpile. As Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst reported from Tel Aviv: “when the Iranians arrived at the negotiating table they told the American delegation that they had 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, enough to make 11 nuclear bombs.”
Yingst explained the peril: “The way you enrich Uranium is a process as you get closer to weapons grade the breakout time becomes much quicker. So they were just a couple weeks away from having weapons-grade material that they could ultimately use in a nuclear weapon.”

He added: “And as we’ve seen they have the ballistic missile capability if they could attach a nuclear warhead that’s when it becomes dangerous to the region and that is what United States Israel wanted to stop. They didn’t want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.”
Even as Iran claimed a “peaceful nuclear program,” they rejected an American offer of “unlimited nuclear fuel forever,” exposing their true intentions. Yingst noted: “So concern was this enriched uranium could be used to create a nuclear bomb threatened U.S forces or allies in region.”
Now, with the material potentially scattered or hidden underground, the focus shifts to elimination. “And at this point the challenge for the Americans will be identifying where that enriched uranium is located in either destroying it or diluting it,” Yingst said. “Both of those processes could very difficult because it is stored underground but this part of game plan for American and Israeli as war continues.”
