Nothing the US says about the war should be taken at face value, but this is just someone speculating on a blog. And since this is the second time I’ve seen ~~theory~~ conspiracy today I’m going to guess it’s whats circulating online. Is it possible? Sure. “Hundreds” of special operations (as reported in actual media outlets) is a lot to send after one guy, and the mission profile is similar to what’s been described would be needed to retrieve nuclear material. But…it’s still just speculation without any new info to back it up.

At least this guy kind of acknowledges that the Iranians shouldn’t be taken at their word either. Too many terminally online folks with an anti-US/anti-west boner take anything that aligns with their bias without question.
