Episode Details

What would it actually take to seize Iran's highly enriched uranium? This episode walks through the three credible military options — a ground raid, an air-delivered seizure, and in-place destruction — and the impossible tradeoffs each requires. From the physics of UF6 gas to the intelligence needed to find the right storage cylinder, we examine why the form the material is in changes everything, and why every option sits at the edge of feasibility.
