Report: Trump May Get Iranian Enriched Uranium with Special Forces
Timothy Birdnow
Not sure how you get special forces into hostile territory in the middle of a hot war and cart away this much material - and that after digging it up from underground and covered with piles of rubble.

I strongly suspect this is disinformation designed to panic the surviving members of the regime.
Most of this material is in Uranium Hexafloride gas in cylinders, and some of those could be cracked and could leak. That would mean our guys exposed to radioactive material. And even if not these cannisters would be bulky.
The enrichment process for uranium involves making it into Uranium Hexafloride gas and then centrifuging that to separate the U235 from the U238. That is much easier than the original process employed by Oak Ridge for the first bomb which used magnets to actually separate the enriched material molecule by molecule.
Iran was currently at 60% enrichment; it takes less than a week to get past 90%, the rate generally required for atomic bombs (although it is possible to make a fission bomb with enrichment in the high eighties, but why bother?) In fact the first 10% is the most time consuming; after ten percent it takes about a month to get to the critical enrichment.
I don't see any way special forces could do this; it would be a monumental undertaking in a hot warzone. But if anyone could it would be our special forces guys.

This goes to the post above this one that is malformed or something. The reason the IRGC went after their neighbors was to spike oil prices in hopes buyers would pressure Trump into negotiations to save the IRGC. These plans were in place prior to the elimination of the supreme leader and nobody has been in power long enough to change them. Heres a good laugh for you. The Irgc is fleeing to Afghanistan were the Afghans are going to build them a base which puts them all in one area for quick dispatch to their 72 virgin goats. Gotta love it!!

Agreed Mike. Yeah; gotta love that - gather em all in one place so we can send them to their reward. (BTW I've long said 72virgins would be more like Hell than Heaven; 72 nagging, henpcking shrews on your case for all eternity!
