US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are considering the possibility of carrying out a special military operation inside Iranian territory to recover enriched uranium stockpiles. These developments come in light of the continued stalemate in diplomatic talks between Washington and Tehran, and growing regional concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
Simultaneous statements by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed a serious study of the possibility of carrying out a special military operation inside Iran with the aim of restoring the stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Trump explained in statements on Monday that Iran initially offered to accompany the American side to the damaged nuclear facilities, before backing away from this offer and informing the Americans of the need to "take it yourselves." The US president said his country was watching the situation closely, warning that Washington would “aggressively deal” with any attempt to get closer to the uranium stockpile. For his part, Netanyahu spoke more clearly during an interview with the "60 Minutes" program, and when asked about how to get uranium out of Iran, he replied frankly: "Intervene and take it." He revealed that Trump informed him of his desire to carry out such an operation, describing it as "practically possible" without Disclosure of additional details. According to The War Zone, the identical statements between the two sides reflect a high level of political and military coordination, especially in light of the failure of diplomatic efforts. Israeli officials are reportedly looking to order Trump to carry out a special operation to secure Iran's nuclear stockpile, which is estimated to be enough to make about a dozen nuclear warheads. Military experts warn of the enormous complexities and risks of any operation ground inside Iran to recover uranium buried under the rubble of the Isfahan nuclear complex, which may call for the participation of US, Israeli or joint special forces. In the same context, Trump described the recent Iranian offer as a "piece of garbage", considering that the current ceasefire is "on a ventilator" in light of Tehran's adherence to demands that include war reparations, lifting sanctions, and recognizing its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
