U.S. weighs sending special forces to seize Iran's nuclear stockpile
https://www.axios.com/2026/03/08/iran-ground-troops-special-forces-nuclearThe big picture: Any operation to seize the material would likely require U.S. or Israeli troops on Iranian soil, navigating heavily fortified underground facilities in the middle of a war.
It remains unclear whether it would be an American, Israeli or joint mission.
It would likely only take place after both countries are confident Iran's military can no longer mount a serious threat to the forces involved.
