        "summary": "The United States and Israel are reportedly examining the deployment of special forces to Iran to secure highly enriched uranium stocks, according to Axios. The plan reportedly considers two main options: removing all enriched uranium from Iran, or sending a team of nuclear experts to reduce enrichment on site, potentially with IAEA involvement; discussions have been ongoing since before the latest Iran tensions, with Israeli defence officials monitoring progress and President Trump said to have entertained such options.",
        "content": "<p>The United States and Israel are reportedly discussing the possible\ndeployment of special forces to Iran to secure stocks of highly enriched\nuranium. Axios, citing four sources familiar with the discussions,\nreported on Sunday (8 March) that officials from both countries have\nbeen involved. Former U.S. President Donald Trump is also said to have\nindicated that American forces could be deployed to Iran in a subsequent\nphase to secure this material. Axios, citing an unnamed U.S. official,\nsaid the administration is weighing two main scenarios for handling\nIran\u2019s uranium. The first option is to move the entire stock of enriched\nuranium out of Iran. The second option is to send a team of nuclear\nweapons experts to Iran to directly reduce the level of enrichment on\nsite; in the second scenario, the mission would likely involve\nInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) scientists. The IAEA is widely\nknown as the international watchdog responsible for monitoring nuclear\nprogrammes to ensure compliance with non-proliferation agreements. Axios\nalso reported that the plan had actually been among options presented to\nPresident Trump even before the latest Iran conflict broke out. Citing\ntwo sources familiar with the discussions, the report says the option of\ndeploying special forces was discussed in the early stages of U.S.\nnational security policy planning. Several Israeli defence officials are\nsaid to continue monitoring the developments. An unnamed Israeli defence\nofficial said that Trump and his advisers are seriously weighing the\noption to deploy special forces to carry out a limited mission inside\nIran to secure sensitive nuclear material. Tracking the latest status of\nIran\u2019s uranium as of March 2026, including enrichment levels, the\ncondition of the Natanz facility after the attacks, and IAEA analysis.\nThe United States is pressing Iran to dismantle Fordow, Natanz, and\nIsfahan nuclear facilities and hand over 10,000 kilograms of uranium in\nongoing negotiations in Geneva.
