A theory is spreading fast on social media claiming that the recent US rescue operation in Iran was actually a failed attempt to extract enriched uranium. These claims have gained significant traction on platforms like X, standing in sharp contrast to the official story from the US and Israel.
The official account began last week when an F-15E fighter jet was reportedly shot down over Iranian territory by the IRGC. Two crew members ejected from the aircraft. The pilot was rescued the same day, but the second crew member, a weapons systems officer (WSO), remained missing in the hilly terrain of Kohkilouyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. About 48 hours later, the US announced the WSO had also been successfully rescued.
