Will the US seize enriched uranium? Well, they’ve done it before | The Security Brief


With peace talks between the US and Iran at an impasse, the Pentagon says it is planning a short, sharp campaign to force Iran’s hand in negotiations.

Could the focus be a seizure of Iran’s enriched uranium, and how would it be carried out? 

The Security Brief takes you back to 1994, when Project Sapphire saw the US conduct a covert operation in Kazakhstan to seize 600kg of enriched uranium, before smuggling it back to the United States. 

Christian Fraser and Mikey Kay explain what can be learned from that operation, and why a mission in Iran would be far more difficult.
