Let's be completely real here, we couldn't even manage a clean logistical withdrawal from an airport we occupied for 20 years ngl. the idea of safely extracting highly radioactive material from hostile deep-underground bunkers without starting a massive regional war is pure neocon fanfiction dude.

Came here to say this. Seizing Iran’s nuclear material means a full scale invasion and occupation.

I think seizing another country’s nuclear material could be a guaranteed geopolitical disaster.

The fact that there are actual people in washington who think pulling off a real-life c***** heist inside a heavily fortified, underground nuclear facility is a viable foreign policy is absolutely terrifying tbh.

Seizing the uranium would require boots on the ground or at the very least a covert operation
And I don't think they'd be keen on giving it to us
This war has made them understand that countries with nuclear arms are not messed with

It's probably buried in the rubble of the bunker we bombed, requiring weeks to months of work to dig it out. Also careful handling to avoid a criticality accident.
The Iranians aren't going to let us stay for months, not without paying in a whole lotta blood, and I doubt the guys tasked with handling the Uranium will be as careful as they should be when they're getting shelled.

No covert operation can move a whole bunch of highly radioactive and dense material quickly. It’s just not possible.

Trump could still do it as a reality TV show to distract from the Pedo Files

With Trump’s grasp of the war with Iran—which, according to Trump, isn’t really a war at all—and aides like Hegseth, surely nothing could possibly go wrong with such a complex undertaking, right? Trump has also said several times during his first term that he knows more about military matters than any general in the U.S. Army. If Trump is planning an operation to recover enriched uranium, that’s a piece of cake compared to planning a new ballroom, right?
And 35% of MAGA people still believe Trump was the right choice.
