Could The US Invade Iran To Get All Their Uranium?

Obviously, many in the media want to bang the gong and scaremonger on this, all to demonize Trump and hopefully drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters, which ends up with the media and others throwing their support behind the Iranian regime and opposing the United States. And supporting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. But

Reports of large US invasion to get Iran 60% nuke uranium likely overblown – exclusive

Despite numerous reports in recent days about a potential imminent and multi-sided US invasion of parts of Iran, including plans to retrieve 60% enriched uranium, The Jerusalem Post understands that these reports are exaggerated.

It is still possible that the US could use ground forces in some fashion. But the images of a large-scale invasion and specifically the idea of an extended mission in Isfahan to retrieve the 60% enriched uranium, which is part of Iran’s nuclear program, do not appear to be in the cards, the Post has learned.

Rather, the US’s military objectives have been consistently summarized as focused on eliminating ballistic missiles, drones, and naval threats – not the enriched uranium per se.

With a staggering 7,000 attacks since February 28, the US has also assisted with some strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps positions, but has left much of that targeting to Israel.

What could be problematic is that more than two weeks into the war, neither Israel nor the US has announced any successful operations or attacks to neutralize the two largest remaining nuclear threats from Iran.

Perhaps that is not the goal at this time

Further, the IDF has declined to provide confidence that these two threats will be dealt with before the end of the war.

Some Israelis had hoped, based on reports of an American intervention, that at least the 60% enriched uranium would be seized or diluted.

However, as the issue has been more thoroughly analyzed, concerns have been raised that digging through the rubble to reach the uranium could take days or longer.

Maybe they’re going to get to bombing the crap out of the areas, burying it beneath more and more rubble as all the weapons of Iran are destroyed and their leadership is killed off? Who knows. It’s a Bad Idea to tell the enemy your plans.

The amphibious assault ship, USS Tripoli – believed to be carrying thousands of marines to the Middle East – is nearing the Malacca Strait off Singapore on its way to the region, maritime tracking data showed on Tuesday, according to CNN. CNN reported that the Tripoli is believed to be carrying troops from the Okinawa-based 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), a rapid-response force of 2,200 personnel.

MEUs can be used for ship-to-shore movements, including raids and assaults, and some of their units are trained for special operations.

Why else would the US be moving such a force to the region if it was not planning an invasion?

Good question. But, putting all those troops on the ground deep into Iran, which is rather mountainous, could be dangerous, and I seriously doubt Trump has any intention of doing so. But, the US media wants Americans to think Trump is a warmonger, after they pushed Obama as a president of peace, even after launching a complete war of choice in Libya, which led to ISIS and so much Mid-East instability.
