Washington, DC: US President Donald Trump has revealed that he weighed, but ultimately dismissed, a military blueprint to deploy American troops into Iran for the extraction of its enriched uranium stockpile, amid the sudden re-emergence of the West Asia conflict, while delicate diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Tehran remain ongoing.
According to Trump, the proposed cross-border operation was ultimately deemed "too risky" and would have necessitated a massive military mobilisation. The US President noted that the complex mission would have required a minimum of two weeks to execute, involving the logistical movement of substantial quantities of military hardware directly into Iranian territory.
