re: WSJ: Trump weighing Iranian ground operation to extract Uranium

If we know where it is, thats more likely than Carg Island. Carg island is 2 square miles and does nothing for us. Why?
Because shuting down Iranian oil will be followed by Iran trying to take out Gulf oil. And why obsess with opening the straits and then shut down down the oil yourself?
Its also only about 14 miles from the iranian coast and inhabited by about 2000 civilians, many of whom are probably IRGC.
No, its the gulf coast and the islands right around the strait Thats what the troops are for. A buffer zone down the coast.
And that is very difficult because that coast lies at the foot of a huge mountain range and the break in that range, right at the strait, is occupied by quite a large city.
So it has to be the uranium which is likely at Isfahan under rubble. But maybe not, because the iraians have been digging for six months.
Very difficult.
I think we may know where the 16 to 20 tunnel systems are with the missles and launchers. I could see a series of raids targeting them.
In short, i have know idea.

The logistics seem tricky for transporting materials from the site. Sending a team to the site to kill a bunch of bad guys is different from trying to haul uranium out. I trust the DOW to gameplan properly though. All of our missions the past 2 years have been flawless.

Iran has been planning for this forever. Our lads are possibly being sent on an unnecessary suicide mission that isnt even for America. Its so dumb. Its barely even believable.

They did a study on the chemical weapons in Syria and how many troops it would take to get them out and the number they decided on was 80,000.

That has nothing to do with you acting gay.

If it is successful you have what you need to say you won the war and it’s over. Trump has never declared regime change as a key goal.

This won’t go on for years.

Welp what every they were going to do is fricked now.
If this is in any way true then I can’t believe this was leaked. Like wtf. They are definitely trying to get Americas best killed

to extract Uranium
Isn't it also, like, kind of retarded that we'd just run in there, grab uranium and then run out?
Don't get me wrong. I'm sure this is a great idea, but there might be a minute chance that this is just retarded bullshite.

How would Iran do that when the US and Israel have total air supremacy? Iran can’t send a convoy to the site—well they could but it would be destroyed.

You can’t take anything Trump reportedly says at face value. 95% of it is misdirections or nonsense, then he comes around the corner with some shite nobody even considered.
Posted on 3/29/26 at 9:19 pm to Riverside
Why would they need a 'convoy?'
Posted on 3/29/26 at 9:20 pm to blueboy
Are they going to use camels? We could blow those up too.

I thought of that. The exit ramp. But Iran would just get more Uranium eventually. To me it’s an empty victory.
There are lots of variables that could result from running a “mission to extract Uranium” that sounds like it was dreamt up within the last 24 hours...
So why not just declare victory now and leave…

Because you don’t stop pummeling your opponent until they are finished. Why should we stop now?
Posted on 3/29/26 at 9:30 pm to Riverside
There are some things you don’t publish. WSJ is going to get people killed.

You are missing the part where our war partner in Israel assassinated the religious and political leader of Iran and his family.
Trump very well may declare victory, but we have created the conditions for rabid enemies that will have to be put down, now or later.

And yet Trump says listen to Levin sell a plan for a mission to run troops on the ground….
