US is considering sending thousands of ground troops to secure Iranian nuclear sites and recover enriched uranium – NYT
The operation would require thousands of ground troops to secure the sites, clear booby traps, support construction teams, and establish a defensive perimeter before a small special operations team recovers the uranium.
According to NYT: "American intelligence agencies believe that Iran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, is far more interested than his father and predecessor in pursuing a nuclear weapon, according to officials briefed on the assessments."

@RapidResponse47 It’s time our allies look past their dislike of trumps style or rhetoric. The real problem sits in Tehran (or wherever the bunker they are hiding is). The mood has shifted the world is coming together on this. THE IRGC IS BAD NEES AND MUST GO.
