Possible targets included the damaged Fordo and Isfahan facilities, as well as the underground Pickaxe Mountain complex near Natanz. US special operations forces were preparing for a possible mission to seize enriched uranium from Iran’s fortified nuclear facilities, the New York Post reported, citing a source familiar with military planning and US security experts. The operation could involve thousands of troops securing nuclear sites, clearing damaged or booby-trapped entrances and establishing protected routes to an airfield. A smaller team of special operators would then enter the facilities and remove the nuclear material, according to the report.
Joseph Rodgers, deputy director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told the Post that a military operation could become the most likely option if negotiations failed to produce an agreement on Iran’s uranium stockpile. He described any such mission as exceptionally complex and dangerous. Potential targets included the damaged Fordo and Isfahan facilities, as well as the underground Pickaxe Mountain complex near Natanz, where Iran was reported to have transferred hundreds of centrifuges.
Iran had reinforced the Isfahan site and placed mines and explosives in its tunnels in anticipation of a possible raid, it is understood. US forces would need to maintain control of the surrounding area and airspace while construction crews reopened access points and transported the uranium. Richard Goldberg, a former US National Security Council official, said a raid on Pickaxe Mountain could instead focus on infiltrating the site, placing explosives and withdrawing, if airstrikes alone were considered insufficient to destroy the facility.

prophecy below. Trump Is angry with Tehran, but the LORD is fiercely angry with
Iran, which trumps even Trump”s anger!
This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
says: “I will destroy the archers (missile launchers) of Elam (southwest
Iran)—the best of their (IRGC) forces. I will bring enemies (likely
ground forces) from all directions, and I will scatter the people of Elam
to the four winds. They will be exiled to countries around the world. I myself
will go with Elam’s enemies (possibly a USA led coalition) to shatter
it. In my fierce anger, I will bring great disaster upon the people of
Elam,” says the Lord. (Jeremiah
49:35-37, NLT; emphasis added)
