Trump weighs daring mission to snatch Iran’s nuclear stockpiles amid fears

of the unthinkable if uranium falls into wrong hands. The president has
flirted with deploying US soldiers on the ground in Iran in recent days,
although he said on Saturday that he would need a ‘very good reason’ to
make the escalatory move. Insiders warn that troops may be needed to seize
control of Iran’s remaining enriched uranium – the main ingredient in
building a nuclear weapon – amid fears it could fall into the hands of
terrorists or another nation such as North Korea, Pakistan or a Gulf state.
