Briefly

Can the US seize Iran's enriched uranium  and what are the risks?
"Experts say that a military operation to seize Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium would be complicated and risky, facing numerous chemical, logistical, and tactical hurdles."
"Iran maintains that its nuclear program is solely for civilian energy purposes, despite having enriched uranium far beyond the threshold required for that."
"Currently, Iran is believed to have about 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent, which is enough to theoretically produce more than 10 nuclear warheads."
Experts indicate that a military operation to seize Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium would face chemical, logistical, and tactical challenges. The U.S. aims to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, a key demand in negotiations. Iran claims its nuclear program is for civilian energy, yet it has enriched uranium beyond necessary levels. The 2015 JCPOA limited Iran's enrichment, but the U.S. withdrawal under Trump has complicated the situation. Iran currently possesses enough enriched uranium to potentially create over 10 nuclear warheads, raising international concerns.
