Report: US special forces preparing potential raid to seize Iran’s enriched uranium
Israeli forces carried out overnight operations in several parts of the West Bank, entering communities in the Tubas, Nablus, Jenin, Qalqilya and Tulkarem areas after Friday’s deadly shooting near the village of Tell. Palestinian reports said troops searched homes in Tubas and the nearby al-Far’a before leaving several hours later, while more than 20 suspects were reportedly detained during raids in Tell.
The IDF confirmed that its forces had conducted an operation aimed at thwarting terrorism but did not provide further details. The activity came after two Israelis and four Palestinians were killed in Friday’s incident, and after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered intensified operations in areas identified as terror hubs, including weapons seizures and additional troop deployments.

Report: US special forces preparing potential raid to seize Iran’s enriched uranium
US Special Operations forces were preparing for a potential ground operation to recover enriched uranium from Iran’s fortified nuclear facilities, the New York Post reported, citing a source familiar with military planning and US security experts.
The operation could require thousands of troops to secure the sites, clear damaged or booby-trapped entrances and protect routes used to transport the nuclear material to an airfield. A smaller special forces team would then enter the facilities and retrieve the uranium, according to the report.
Possible targets included the damaged Fordo and Isfahan facilities, as well as the underground Pickaxe Mountain complex near Natanz. Experts cautioned that any raid would be highly dangerous and logistically complex, particularly because Iran had reportedly reinforced the sites and placed explosives inside access tunnels.
