Commando Raid To Secure Iran's Enriched Uranium May Become A Very Risky Necessity

A raid is fraught with risk, but it may become the only way to make sure the nuclear material is safe and out of the regime's hands.

For those that are saying that they are doing that for the last 47 years)

By its last firm estimate, as of June 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) assessed that Iran had just over 972 pounds (just under 441 kilograms) of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity. This stockpile has long been a proliferation concern and evidence of Iranian authorities maintaining the option of rapidly pursuing a nuclear weapon even in the absence of an active development program.

It is understood to be a relatively quick process, in technical terms, to get uranium from 60 percent to 90 percent purity, at which point it is considered highly enriched or weapons-grade. Per the IAEA, 92.5 pounds of 60 percent uranium is sufficient to be enriched into enough 90 percent material for one nuclear bomb. Using this metric, Iran's declared stockpile of enriched uranium is enough for at least 10 bombs.

Iran's underground nuclear site at Isfahan has long been understood to be the primary storehouse for its stockpile of enriched uranium. That facility was among those targeted in U.S. strikes last June, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer. Though access to any uranium there was subsequently curtailed, the U.S. Intelligence Community has more recently assessed that Iranian authorities have regained entry, at least to a degree, according to a report from The New York Times over the weekend. As an aside, in the weeks leading up to the current conflict, satellite imagery showed Iran taking steps to seal off Isfahan, as well as other key facilities, which would help hamper any potential ground raids. TWZ highlighted similar activity at Iranian nuclear sites ahead of Operation Midnight Hammer.

Hopefully their ability to retaliate is minimal by the time he's out there, if he deploys.

China mentioned lol, President Trump out there letting everyone know what this is really about in no uncertain terms

they're pledging allegiance to a cardboard cutout of the new leader.

Sidequest status update

Disarmament and expulsion of Hezbollah would finally excise the cancer which has been killing the people of Lebanon for decades and give that nation a chance for the first time in living memory

Yeah he is definitely going as this was already planned beforehand, he just got the shitend of the stick on timing
He leaves in April for either Qatar ,Kuwait or UAE .
So bursting with pride from it though luckily I raised up 3 strong lads with good hearts and intentions...and have kicked my arse on videogames for almost 20 years lol

My prayers are with you, your son and your family. Nothing a random on GAF says can help with the fear and anxiety, and I don't expect it to, but please know, sincerely, I am praying for you all. Thankful for the brave men and women who fight to defend the free world. Thank you.

Interesting article for sure. One thing is that if they were considering this I wish they had better fucking security. I wonder if they are considering an even bigger operation with the 82nd. If the IRGC comes out to challenge they would get exposed for slaughter.

CNN did a correlated piece explaining almost the same.

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/09/politics/iran-uranium-us-ground-forces-nuclear

Including, as you said, the necessity to deploy the 75th Rangers or the 82nd Airborne Division as a support/perimeter security unit to the SOF/specialist.

Putin on the call with Trump: Just Say The Iranians Bombed Themselves!
And despite it making zero sense on any level, the Trump base will lap it up.

Speaking of obvious false flags, it's awfully convenient the 'bombs' thrown by the 'jihadis' in New York failed to explode and then the 'terrorists' got arrested without any resistance.

Hey, I put a love heart on this as a way to say I am sending thoughts. Obviously I don't know you or your family but I am sending positive energy that this will all be over soon.

I would really like to know what's the plan.
It looks like there

The desperation is high on this one.
This is the most incompetent "special military operation" ever to take place. This ones beats the one from the russians.
So, you go and attack iran but cannot predict what could happen with the oil market. Wow, how incompetent can you be?
This is a war started by people that know absolutely nothing about geopolitics and iran. Thinking that this kind of people are ruling the most powerfull country in the world and have access to nukes...Now I'm worried.

A professional TDS spreader displaying severe TDS no matter the situation is not too surprising, but the answers given to the debate question she posed (would you support a pre-emptive strike by Israel on Iran) are interesting.

Walz's answer was 'orange man bad' with a vague non-answer to the question.

Vice President Vance's answer was yes he would support it.
