Israeli outlet leaks plan to seize Iran's enriched uranium

May 20, 2026

An Israeli TV channel close to Netanyahu floated a plan for a US ground raid to grab Iran's enriched uranium, which would be bad for American troops and risky for the region.

  • Channel 14, a pro-Netanyahu outlet, said a commando raid near Isfahan could grab Iranian uranium said to be buried shallow enough to extract.
  • The claim looks aimed at pulling the US into boots-on-the-ground action against Iran.
  • Israeli officials, including a former army chief, are furious at the leak, calling it reckless and demanding an investigation.
  • The story strains belief — Iran almost certainly does not keep all its enriched uranium in one easy-to-reach spot.
  • TYT frames this as another push by Israel to drag the US into its wars and argues for decoupling from Israel.

Outlook: Expect more pressure on Washington to back Israeli action against Iran, with rising risk of US military involvement if the narrative takes hold.
