In recent weeks, Iran has dramatically escalated efforts to seal off its cache of near bomb-grade uranium, deliberately collapsing tunnels and booby-trapping entrances with explosive mines, according to five sources familiar with US intelligence.
Getting to the roughly half-a-ton of highly-enriched uranium is now far more difficult, dangerous and time-consuming than it already was just a month ago, when President Donald Trump was publicly signaling that he might order the US military to seize it, the sources said.
The new fortifications by the Iranians add an additional layer of complexity to the Trump administration’s proposed deal with Tehran to remove and destroy its uranium, and the move raises questions about who will take on the dangerous task of digging it out.
Can we convince trump to go in there and get it with his bare hands because he’s the best at everything and would do it better than anyone has before?
Tired of these crazy, murderous thieves, NGL.
Maybe you shouldn’t tell everyone your plans you fucking dumb ass pedo fascist orange little bitch.
remove and destroy
Nah, we only wanted to remove it. Trump and Hegseth have both been public that we should start building another huge wave of nuclear weapons, and you need uranium to do it. Far easier to try and mug someone else for theirs (and their oil and whatever else you think you can get) than it is to actually buy it and refine it yourself.
Can’t “destroy” uranium anyway… unless they’re planning for a little unscheduled fission reaction.
You can’t destroy it but you can unpurify it.
By what, adding in less reactive species? What they probably have in mind is to pour a truckload of concrete on it.
