Former President Donald Trump asserted that Iran is currently under the watchful eye of the United States Space Force, revealing the claim in a recent post on his social media platform.
The statement included a surprising declaration of a “very productive Regime Change” underway in Iran, coupled with assurances of halted uranium enrichment. Trump detailed a plan for the US to collaborate with Iran in excavating and removing what he termed “Nuclear ‘Dust’” – remnants allegedly buried deep underground.
He specifically referenced ongoing “exacting Satellite Surveillance” by the Space Force, claiming nothing at Iranian sites has been disturbed since a previous attack. Trump indicated discussions regarding tariff and sanction relief were progressing, with many points of agreement already established.
The Space Force, established in 2019, has often been a subject of public discussion, and its role in this alleged surveillance remains unclear. The claim appears to center on monitoring former Iranian nuclear sites, previously the subject of Trump’s assertions regarding their destruction.
Trump’s mention of “nuclear dust” echoes earlier suggestions of potentially deploying troops to recover hidden uranium stores, a concept reportedly considered during a past conflict between Iran and the US. The idea stemmed from concerns about uranium buried in the sand during that period.
Reports indicated that following strikes on alleged Iranian nuclear facilities last year, a significant quantity of nuclear material was effectively sealed off at a site in Isfahan. While access is challenging, fears persist that Iran could potentially retrieve this material through a vulnerable access point.
Previously, the US refrained from retrieving the material due to perceived risks. However, Trump had hinted at the possibility of future action, stating that while current efforts focused on “decimating” Iranian capabilities, retrieval remained a potential option for later consideration.
Following a period of intense conflict, a two-week conditional ceasefire between Iran and the US/Israel has been agreed upon. Trump announced the US would assist with managing traffic flow in the Strait of Hormuz, anticipating “lots of positive action” and significant economic gains.
He expressed confidence that Iran desires a resolution, stating they “have had enough!” Iran’s security council has responded by indicating they will submit a 10-point plan to the US via Pakistan, though they also emphasized that the conflict is not yet fully resolved.
Iran has been actively fortifying its nuclear facilities, particularly the Natanz complex, in response to previous attacks. The US and Israel have conducted sustained operations targeting Iran’s military infrastructure, leadership, and nuclear program.
