As the U.S.-Israel coalition pounds Iranian targets in the ongoing Operation Epic Fury, Tehran is reporetedly desperately scrambling to recover its enriched uranium from bombed-out facilities. President Trump is now weighing a high-stakes commando raid to neutralize the threat, ensuring Iran never crosses the nuclear threshold that could endanger America and its allies.
This development underscores the regime’s dangerous brinkmanship, revealing just how close the ayatollahs were to weaponizing their program under the nose of global watchdogs.
According to reports, Iranian teams are racing against time to salvage 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium—material that’s a stone’s throw from weapons-grade—from sites hit in the ongoing airstrikes. This comes amid Trump’s indefinite extension of the war timeline, a move that keeps all options open to crush the nuclear ambitions once and for all.

The revelation stems from failed negotiations where Iran brazenly disclosed its stockpile. As Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst reported from Tel Aviv: “when the Iranians arrived at the negotiating table they told the American delegation that they had 460 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium, enough to make 11 nuclear bombs.”
Yingst explained the peril: “The way you enrich Uranium is a process as you get closer to weapons grade the breakout time becomes much quicker. So they were just a couple weeks away from having weapons-grade material that they could ultimately use in a nuclear weapon.”

“The challenge for the Americans will be identifying where that enriched uranium is located, and either destroying it or diluting it.”

He added: “And as we’ve seen they have the ballistic missile capability if they could attach a nuclear warhead that’s when it becomes dangerous to the region and that is what United States Israel wanted to stop. They didn’t want Iran to get a nuclear weapon.”
Even as Iran claimed a “peaceful nuclear program,” they rejected an American offer of “unlimited nuclear fuel forever,” exposing their true intentions. Yingst noted: “So concern was this enriched uranium could be used to create a nuclear bomb threatened U.S forces or allies in region.”
Now, with the material potentially scattered or hidden underground, the focus shifts to elimination. “And at this point the challenge for the Americans will be identifying where that enriched uranium is located in either destroying it or diluting it,” Yingst said. “Both of those processes could very difficult because it is stored underground but this part of game plan for American and Israeli as war continues.”
Sources indicate that Trump’s considered commando raid would target key sites to seize or destroy the uranium, preventing any salvage efforts from succeeding.
The raid option echoes Trump’s successful Venezuela model, avoiding full invasions while securing strategic wins. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt rebuffed speculation: the report relies on “assumptions from anonymous sources” and Trump “always, wisely keeps all options open.”
Trump did address this eventuality before the strikes took place.

This builds directly on the indefinite war extension we covered yesterday. Trump stated “I have no time limits on anything. I want to get it done,” insisting on “unconditional surrender.”
Meanwhile, in a related development, the Iran conflict has ignited a massive surge in demand for nuclear-proof bunkers across America, with even top Trump administration officials securing their own underground fortresses amid whispers of World War Three.
Ron Hubbard, owner of Atlas Survival Shelters, reports being “inundated with calls” since the conflict erupted, with enquiries spiking “tenfold.” The Texas-based company, which builds everything from $20,000 basic shelters to multimillion-dollar compounds, is reaping a harvest from the heightened tensions.
Hubbard revealed that two senior Trump Cabinet members are new customers. “One of them texted me yesterday, asking me: ‘When will my bunker be ready?’” he said.

These bunkers boast hardened steel construction, armoured blast doors, air purification systems, and luxuries like cinemas, pools, and gun ranges—designed to withstand drone strikes or worse. Yet Hubbard is blunt about limits: “No bunker in the world is designed to withstand a bunker buster from an American bomber. I’m sorry you just can’t make a bunker strong enough.”
He added: “If the Americans want you dead, you’re dead. I don’t think any bunker in the world can protect you from an American that wants to kill you.”
The boom extends globally, with Hubbard’s new Dubai office fielding urgent requests after Iranian missiles hit the city. “They thought they’d never see bombs fall. But now [they’re getting the s— bombed out of them],” he noted of local clients.
Atlas averaged $2 million in monthly sales this year but expects $50 million next month. “Bunker building is like being a farmer. When it’s time for harvest, you have to reap all you can,” Hubbard explained. “Now that they’ve been bombed, they’re all going to want shelters. It’s just a fact of life.”
Hubbard has built for tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and even Andrew Tate, underscoring how elites are hedging against chaos.
