Hundreds or thousands of boots on ground? Inside US plan to seize Iran’s uranium stockpile

Washington: Following Iran's decision to reject President Donald Trump's 15-point peace proposal, the United States (US) is reportedly considering a wartime contingency plan to seize the Islamic Republic's uranium. For this, the US military will likely deploy hundreds or even thousands of troops inside Iran. According to a report by the Washington Post, the aim of this mission would be to secure over 1,000 pounds of radioactive material from within Iran. But it will unlikely be a conventional attack, and would require a "large-scale ground-intensive" operation inside the Iranian regime. Quoting two US officials, the report stated that the American…

After Trump’s ‘unhelpful’ jab at France, Macron schools US President over his contradictory remarks

Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday schooled his US counterpart Donald Trump, asking him to refrain from making contradictory statements and work towards ensuring peace amid unrest in the Middle East.  Macron’s remarks came after Trump publicly rebuked France following the US being denied access to French airspace.  “We must be serious. And when we are serious, we do not say the opposite of what we said the day before. Perhaps we should not speak every day; we should simply calm things down and build lasting peace,” Macron said.  We were told everything has been settled: Macron on Trump’s…

Warsaw (Poland): Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Thursday took a sharp dig at US President Donald Trump, saying that threats to fracture NATO and push Europe into an energy crisis align closely with Russia’s strategic interests.

Without directly naming Trump, Tusk suggested that efforts to weaken NATO, halt support for Ukraine and easing sanctions on Russia appear consistent with a plan that benefits Russian President Vladimir Putin. “The threat of NATO’s…
