After abruptly pausing its air campaign against Iran around the Strait of Hormuz, the United States may already be weighing a far riskier option. According to a report published by the New York Post, military planners are considering an extraordinary ground operation aimed at securing Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, a mission that experts say could rank among the most complex military raids ever attempted. The report comes at a time when the Trump administration appears to be reassessing the limits of air power against Iran's nuclear infrastructure. It also coincides with fresh debate inside Washington over whether military pressure alone can prevent Tehran from preserving or rebuilding its nuclear capabilities. While diplomacy remains technically alive, discussions are increasingly shifting toward what would be required if negotiations fail.
