January 1, What Will Happen to Iran’s Enriched Uranium After Trump’s Strikes?

Wyatt’s Take

• Pete Hegseth dodges reporter on ground troops grabbing Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
• Trump’s Operation Epic Fury ramps up after failed nuke talks with mullahs.
• B-2 bombers already smashed key sites, but uranium grab stays on table.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth faced a tough question Friday about sending U.S. troops into Iran for their 440 kg of highly enriched uranium.

President Trump launched Operation Epic Fury on Truth Social February 28 when Iran wouldn’t quit chasing nukes.

Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Gordon pressed Hegseth on controlling that uranium without boots on ground.

“Iran is thought to have 440 kg of highly enriched uranium in at least 2 locations and several 1000 kg of lower purity material. Can you conclude this mission successfully without physically taking control of that material, or are you counting on diplomatic negotiations to provide some measure of control leading to its removal?”

“You’ve mentioned missiles, you’ve mentioned drones, military industry, you haven’t stipulated that taking care of that material is a mission priority.”

Hegseth fired back that stopping Iran’s nukes is the top job with every tool ready.

“We’ve said from the beginning, denying Iran nuclear weapons is a core mission. We have, we retain options across the spectrum to ensure that they never do, and President Trump has said that, and that’s why this mission actually couldn’t have been possible without Midnight Hammer,”

June 21 strikes hit Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan with 14 massive GBU-57 bombs from seven B-2 bombers on a 37-hour run.

“Without what those B-2s did going across and obliterating those facilities, that set the condition for the opportunity to do what we’re doing now,” Hegseth said.

“So he’s kept, the president’s kept, his eye focused on nuclear capabilities, and I will say we have a range of options up to and including Iran deciding that they will give those up, which of course we would welcome. They weren’t willing to do in negotiations.”

“I would never tell this group or the world what we’re willing to do or how far we’re willing to go, but we have options for sure,” Hegseth added.

Casualties mount with four dead in a KC-135 crash in Iraq, six from an Iranian hit in Kuwait, one from wounds in Saudi Arabia, and another from medical issues.

Folks, back Trump’s tough stand against Iran’s mad nuke rush—share this with your neighbors now.
