Good for them. Hoping they enrich further and go on to test at least three weapons
Tired of these crazy, murderous thieves, NGL.
Can we convince trump to go in there and get it with his bare hands because he's the best at everything and would do it better than anyone has before?
Maybe you shouldn't tell everyone your plans you fucking dumb ass pedo fascist orange little bitch.
But how else will he Activate his Base(TM) on Truth Social(R)??!?!
I wish somebody would blurt this out at one of his stupid little press conferences, just to watch him melt down and poop himself in front of everyone.
remove and destroy
Nah, we only wanted to remove it. Trump and Hegseth have both been public that we should start building another huge wave of nuclear weapons, and you need uranium to do it. Far easier to try and mug someone else for theirs (and their oil and whatever else you think you can get) than it is to actually buy it and refine it yourself.
You could buy thousands of times the quantity of Uranium from Australia for less than what the US-Iran war is costing per day.
But what you buy from Australia is monitored, what you steal from another country can be mismanaged.
And?
If the US decides to do that the rest of the world leaders would just stand there dick in hand watching waiting for their paycheck
Can't "destroy" uranium anyway... unless they're planning for a little unscheduled fission reaction.
You can't destroy it but you can unpurify it.
By what, adding in less reactive species? What they probably have in mind is to pour a truckload of concrete on it.
You add it to enough regular uranium or uranium ore that the enrichment goes under fuel rod levels. One part weapons-grade to 4 parts unenriched uranium should be safe.
Adding it to concrete is not very effective, it's easy to purify uranium from other elements and then you just get your enriched uranium back. For separating elements you can use chemistry, only separating isotopes is hard.

I don't think the United States have any intention of handing any of this uranium back to Iran were they to get their hands on it, hence there would be no pint in de-enrichment. My point is that they are probably going to store it in concrete dry cask storage somewhere they can secure, if they aren't going to put it for use to their own ends.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
