Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): CNN has claimed that the US military had prepared a highly protected and urgent plan in late May to send ground forces to Iran and physically seize the country's enriched uranium.
Donald Trump halted it after being aware of the severe risks of this operation, including heavy casualties for American soldiers and global economic collapse.
Two informed sources have told CNN that General Dan Kaine, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, held an urgent and confidential meeting at the headquarters of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) in Florida on May 19.
The meeting was about options for sending ground troops to Iran’s nuclear facilities to remove about 440 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium (which is technically close to weapons-grade).
According to CNN, the meeting was so sensitive and urgent that General Kane left a meeting of senior NATO officials in Brussels unfinished and hurried to Florida.
Sources familiar with the matter told CNN that after reporting to Trump, the US president ordered the operation to be “halted” due to serious warnings about the consequences of the operation (including high casualties among special forces, Ansarullah’s withdrawal from the ceasefire, and the closure of the Bab al-Mandab Strait).
“The risk is very high,” said a source, and it is not surprising that Trump has not given the military the green light.
Trump’s main concern was “a significant number of American casualties”; A theme that was also reflected in his recent interview with Fox News: "I don't know if America has the stomach for it."
