Ryan Grimm, for his part, said that Naval Special Warfare units were given deployment orders today. My current bet is that Kharg is the distraction and they actually want to make a play for Iran’s uranium stockpile. Arguably even stupider than trying to take Kharg Island.
We’re going to see dead seal operators like frankly no one has seen outside of the vietnam war folks!
I only see one way to get rid of that much uranium quickly and efficently. They’d have to penetrate the stockpile and rather than try to transport it up to a cargo plane or helicopter, you’d have to use a nuclear explosion to melt it into the bedrock of the stockpile itself. They used to do that with old nuclear tests. They could even chalk it up as Iran just merely conducting a nuclear test rather than an a committed nuclear attack by the US/Israel.
