Uranium Unleased people reported in mid-March 2026 that the US is considering a special forces operation to physically seize Iran's uranium. 450kg of 60%-enriched material. Unseen by inspectors for 9 months. Enough for 11 nuclear bombs. And nobody in the uranium sector is talking about it. That's just one of five stories that moved the uranium market this week.
This week on Uranium Weekly:
the Iran nuclear seizure story that broke on March 8 and what it actually means for uranium investors — plus Canada greenlights TWO major new uranium mines in the same week, Cameco closes a C$2.6 billion deal with India, and the one price signal that tells you the bull market structure is still completely intact.
