Donald Trump is weighing a daring mission to snatch Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles amid fears about what could happen if rogue actors get to it first. Last June, Trump said strikes 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow and Isfahan, burying much of the nation's nuclear program underground. But analysts still widely believe that some sites are safely holding enriched uranium and the New York Times reported it may have as many as 20 scuba-tank-like canisters each with 55lbs of the substance. Andrea Stricker, director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies nonproliferation program, warned that if the enriched uranium is not secured, the nightmarish potential for it to fall into the wrong hands remains open. To seize the enriched uranium, military insiders say Trump may use Delta Force for a precision operation inside the nation, the same unit used to snatch Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January.

The European Commission is making a big push to get the proposed EU Savings and Investment Union (SIU) over the line as soon as possible. Moves to make the EU economy more competitive and resilient have taken on a new urgency given the breach in transatlantic relations and US president Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and sanctions. The objective of the SIU is to channel these savings into the EU economy. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the Government would support the SIU notwithstanding concerns about its impact on the IFSC. The Government must follow through on its support for an SIU and not cave in, once again, to narrow sectoral interests.
