US military has given the president a plan to seize nearly 1k lbs of highly enriched uranium in Iran that would involve flying in excavation equipment and building a runway for cargo planes to take the radioactive material out, WaPo reports citing sources

The report of the US military planning to seize nearly 1,000 lbs of highly enriched uranium in Iran reflects a significant escalation in US-Iran tensions that could have profound implications for regional stability. This action could trigger market responses in oil and energy commodities, particularly if it suggests potential military conflict or sanctions, making WTI and other energy prices more sensitive to geopolitical developments.
