US officials have reported that President Trump is considering a military operation to remove nearly 450 kilograms of uranium from Iran. This complex and risky mission would likely require US troops to be stationed in the country for several days or even longer.
“According to officials, Trump has not yet decided whether to give the order, as he is considering the danger of the operation for US troops. However, the US president remains open to the idea in general, as it could help achieve his main goal of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons," according to the Wall Street Journal.

For decades, the US and Israel have been claiming without evidence that Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons despite Iran being against nuclear weapons. The media’s decades long inability to do basic fact checking on this cannot be accidental.
Iran has a civil energy nuclear program, that’s it. This invasion is yet another a war crime media-stamped as the US and Israel spreading “democracy”.
On the bright side, they are giving Iran a reason to rethink their views on nuclear weapons, so they may end up being right in the long run…
Well, even if they are developing nuclear weapons, so what? It’s literally the only way to ensure you’re not invaded and/or attacked these days.
It really does feel like the US and Israel desire them to do so, which is why we are where we are. I hope Iran remains rational on the subject but the US loves to generationally fuck over countries with ground invasion for oil or to help build terrorist networks that then become their sworn enemy.
China and Russia also make the same claim.
That Iran has nuclear weapons?
That Iran has pursued a policy of nuclear latency.
What’s curious is that the United States does too, and those who monitor Iran’s nuclear program who go and submit sworn testimonials at US congressional committees say that they do not have nuclear weapons and aren’t planning to do so.
The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency also says so.
The President and State Department can assert otherwise for decades and the media laps it up.
Can’t help but hope jizzeael and usaa get punched in the mouth over this, and soon
The uranium that was already destroyed. The uranium Iran was going to hand over before you bombed them? That uranium?
Oh, right. The uranium. The uranium for America, the uranium chosen especially to kill America, America’s uranium. That uranium?
Yes, that Uranium!
Uranium, also known as “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Petroleum!”
cause they will totally find all of it, and it won’t be a way less stable as a result…
The idea this orange turd “is considering the danger of the operation for US troops.” Is so comical, this article is absolute bullshit.
All they have to do is find the door marked “super secret nuclear weapons grade uranium”. No problem.
