The Pentagon's ground assault plan has been exposed, involving eight phases to seize 450 kilograms of uranium and deploying over 20,000 troops!
Recently, mainstream U.S. media outlets such as The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal revealed the Pentagon's ground combat strategy. Reports indicate that the Pentagon has already submitted a detailed plan to the White House. At its core, the plan involves sending ground forces into Iranian territory to carry out a high-risk "uranium seizure" operation.
According to disclosed details, this military operation is extremely complex and broadly divided into eight stages. The operation begins with hundreds of special forces personnel parachuting in first. They will launch surprise attacks and secure key positions surrounding nuclear facilities. Subsequently, the main force—the 82nd Airborne Division—will conduct large-scale parachute drops. Their mission is to quickly establish a defensive perimeter within enemy-controlled areas.
Then, U.S. engineering units must construct a field airstrip from scratch under artillery fire. Once completed, transport aircraft can deliver heavy excavation equipment to the site. After the equipment arrives, engineers will begin arduous construction work: clearing collapsed tunnels, penetrating thick concrete and rock formations. Meanwhile, special forces will infiltrate underground facilities, navigating environments filled with radiation hazards to locate and extract specially designed containers holding enriched uranium.
The final step involves loading these deadly materials onto transport aircraft and evacuating them from Iranian airspace. The entire operation is expected to last several weeks—or even months.
To Dao Ge, this plan borders on fantasy. Natanz and Isfahan are located deep in central Iran, with the nearest border more than 400 kilometers away. U.S. forces would be operating far behind enemy lines, surrounded on all sides. Although Iran’s air defense systems have been weakened, they remain intact. Revolutionary Guard missiles, drones, and ground units will pose continuous threats to U.S. positions. Constructing an airstrip under enemy fire amounts to suicide.
Even more challenging is the fact that this enriched uranium is buried deep underground. U.S. forces would not only face enemy attacks but also the risk of radioactive contamination. The entire operation requires coordination and support from thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of soldiers. This is no longer a simple special operations raid—it constitutes a large-scale invasion.
Dao Ge simply asks: Is this the end? What if Iran resumes enriching uranium in the future? Will the U.S. launch the same operation again? And should Iran continue attacking U.S. bases, how will the United States respond?
