Trump has not made a final decision and is pressing intermediaries to negotiate a transfer.

The uranium had reached roughly 440 kilograms enriched to 60 percent.

The uranium is stored in 40 to 50 specialized containers requiring secure handling.

Retired General Votel described it as not a quick in and out deal.

Experts cautioned the mission could trigger significant Iranian retaliation.

Three countries have acted as intermediaries between Washington and Tehran.

Western outlets emphasized the operation's risks and lack of final decision.
