What recent developments are happening in Iran?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Monday. Yeah, we're there again. We had a ton of news over the weekend related to the war in Iran. President Trump earlier this morning firing off on Truth Social that, quote, great progress has been made to end military operations in Iran with, quote, a new and more reasonable regime. Sounds pretty optimistic. But the president ended his post by declaring that if a deal is not reached and the Strait of Hormuz is not immediately opened, quote, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells and Karg Island and possibly all desalinization plants, which we have purposefully not yet touched.
This will be in retribution, he continues, for our many soldiers and others that Iran has butchered and killed over the old regime's 47-year reign of terror, unquote. So it really seems like things could go either way in Iran. The president's optimistic and sunny tone has now become par for the course right in the mornings before the markets open. So you have to take it with a grain of salt, especially given the way he ended that post. There were two stories over the weekend about what escalation might look like. The Washington Post reporting that the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations. But the operation, it writes, would fall short of a full scale invasion, whatever that means.
What is a full scale invasion versus ground operation involving thousands of our troops? I mean, who gets to decide? Do we need 200,000 troops? For these papers to call it a full-scale invasion, what's a full-scale invasion? I have no idea. Instead, they write that it would constitute raids by a mixture of special operations forces and conventional infantry troops. How many? We've got 50,000 troops over there in the Middle East right now, which is 10,000 more than we normally have. Some 5,000 have arrived just in the past few days. So what kind of numbers are we looking at? I'm not sure, like if another country sent 5,000 troops to America to come across our borders and start hitting targets, I think we'd consider it an invasion.
But, you know, I'm not a military expert. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that President Trump is considering an operation to extract the nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium believed to be in Iran. The Journal reports that Trump has not yet made the decision to do that, but if the president does give the green light, it would be one of the most complex and dangerous missions ever attempted by the U.S. military. Mr. Trump on two social Saturday encouraging everyone to watch my new best friend, Mark Levin. Or micro, as I call him. After 120 tweets calling me a neo-Nazi, I finally punched him back. And here's what he had to say.
Troops on the ground. He said no troops on the ground. I don't remember that in any campaign speech either. But why would we need troops on the ground? Well, there's a lot of reasons. And we wouldn't need 300,000 of them. It's this uranium, too. We've got to get the uranium. If it cannot be destroyed, if it cannot be altered, we got to get it. For the reason I just said, you can make dirty bombs and over time you can still make sophisticated missiles. So you need to get to the uranium. That's why I'm reading in the paper, we're talking about the 82nd Airborne, we're talking about these very special forces and the various military services and so forth. He's not talking about sending regular army and infantry in by the hundreds of thousands.
Okay. So if it's not hundreds of thousands, then it kind of doesn't count. And now we need to get the uranium. It's a new goal. We're four weeks into this war. Did anybody hear about, we're going to go and get vial, like containers, scuba size containers of uranium? Was that, did anyone list that? Okay. Like, weren't we told in June that we had destroyed their nuclear capability, obliterated?
