President Trump is weighing a risky military operation to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium from Iran, The Wall Street Journal reports. The complex mission would likely put American forces inside Iran for days or longer, and could lengthen the war, according to experts. Trump has also encouraged advisers to press Iran to surrender the material as a condition for ending the war. Publicly traded stocks that may be impacted include Cameco (CCJ), NexGen Energy (NXE), Uranium Energy Corp (UEC), Energy Fuels (UUUU), and Denison Mines (DNN).
