In recent days, analysts said the United States would not attempt a ground landing operation inside Iran unless the target was extremely valuable — and few targets are more valuable than Iran’s enriched uranium.
Today, CNN reported that after markets closed it became clear that Donald Trump does not intend to end the war for now. Instead, he is reportedly considering an extremely dangerous operation to seize Iran’s highly enriched uranium.
Military experts say that while U.S. forces might technically be capable of conducting airborne or special-forces landings at Iranian nuclear facilities, such a mission would carry enormous risks.
Even if American forces succeeded in landing at these sites, there would be no guarantee they could return safely. The possibility of heavy casualties, capture, or prolonged confrontation with Iranian forces would be very high.
