When the U.S. announces plans to construct an oil pipeline across Afghanistan, a Saudi prince, determined to deter further Western involvement in Central Asia, retains former KGB terror broker Pavel Zelinkow who plots to use stolen nuclear weapons against the U.S., prompting the use of IFOR (the Intervention Force), a supposedly rogue operation manned by mercenaries, to stop him.

U.S. special operations forces cannot be used against the terrorists hiding in Iran, so IFOR is called into action for the first time on a mission that will test them to their limits: take out the terrorists, recover the nukes, and get Zelinkow -- dead or alive.
