The United States is considering sending special forces into Iran to target the country's nuclear stockpile and facilities, according to reports from Axios and CBS News. The discussions come amid heightened tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran following recent military strikes in the region.

According to CBS News, citing Axios reporting, the potential operation would aim to destroy Iran's nuclear materials and equipment. Security experts have expressed concerns about securing Iran's nuclear assets before they could be acquired by hostile actors, according to reports.

The deliberations occur as European law enforcement agencies have issued warnings about increased security threats. Europol has cautioned that the Iran crisis raises the risk of terrorist attacks, extremism, and cyberattacks across the region.

A Department of Homeland Security assessment reportedly indicated that Iran and its proxy groups "probably" pose a threat of targeted attacks against U.S. interests. The assessment comes as major public events continue across the United States, with security officials monitoring potential risks.

The reports suggest potential disagreements between the U.S. and Israel regarding military strategy, particularly concerning Israeli strikes on Iranian fuel infrastructure. Fox News reported that Iran's military actions could impact oil supply networks that benefit Russia and China amid ongoing international sanctions.

Neither the White House nor Iranian officials have publicly confirmed the reported discussions about potential military operations.
