The Pentagon is developing scenarios for a large-scale ground operation in Iran to seize or destroy enriched uranium stockpiles, as an alternative to airstrikes. The mission would involve securing fortified facilities like Fordow, Isfahan, and Pickaxe Mountain, with specialized units extracting or neutralizing nuclear material. Analysts warn of high risks and potential casualties due to facility fortifications.
