The BBC’s US partner CBS News has been told by multiple sources that the Trump administration is working on various ways to secure or seize Iran’s nuclear materials.
Two sources told CBS News that the use of the Joint Special Operations Command, an elite military unit often tasked with highly sensitive operations, is being considered for the task.
Another source said that US President Donald Trump has not yet made any decision on any such operation.
A White House spokeswoman told CBS that it was the Pentagon’s job to make preparations.
It should be noted that since the attacks began on February 28, key sites linked to Iran’s nuclear program have been repeatedly targeted by the US and Israel. Iran insists that its nuclear program is entirely for peaceful purposes.
The US and Israel have opposed Iran’s nuclear program. They claim that Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb, which Iran strongly denies.
