U.S. media: Fearing that the U.S. might take action to seize nuclear materials, Iran has sealed off its uranium stockpiles and laid landmines

Svmuu News: According to CNN, five sources familiar with U.S. intelligence have revealed that in recent weeks, Iran has significantly stepped up efforts to secure its stockpile of near-weapons-grade highly enriched uranium, including deliberately causing tunnel collapses and laying explosive mines at the entrances.Obtaining Iran’s highly enriched uranium is now far more difficult, dangerous, and time-consuming than it was a month ago. A month ago, then-Donald Trump, publicly hinted that he might order U.S. forces to seize this nuclear material. Iran’s new measures add an extra layer of complexity to the agreement proposed by the Donald Trump administration and Iran to remove and destroy its uranium stockpile, while also raising the question: who will undertake the dangerous task of excavating this nuclear material?Even for the Iranians themselves, removing this enriched material now would be difficult and dangerous. It would require heavy excavation equipment and mine clearance operations, both of which are challenging and fraught with risk. (Jin Shi)
