President Trump is reportedly considering a military operation in Iran to seize around 400 kilograms (or 880 pounds) of uranium. This information comes from the Wall Street Journal, who are quoting US officials. Last June, the US and Israel bombed three nuclear sites in Iran. Trump initially claimed that they had been completely destroyed, but a later Pentagon assessment contradicted this. Experts believe that the highly-enriched uranium is located at two of the sites that were hit by the US and Israel.
