Donald Trump has said that Iran is under surveillance from the Space Force in a rambling Truth Social post.
‘The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change,’ he wrote.
‘There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear “Dust”.
‘It is now, and has been, under very exacting Satellite Surveillance (Space Force!). Nothing has been touched since the date of the attack. We are, and will be, talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran.
‘Many of the 15 points have already been agreed to. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.’
The Space Force, the unintentionally comedic wing of the country’s military created by Donald Trump, has been in operation since 2019.
It’s unclear what kind of surveillance Trump is referring to in his post, but it likely involves the monitoring of Iran’s former nuclear sites, which Trump previously claimed to have destroyed last summer.
As for his claim of ‘nuclear dust’, it was previously floated that Trump could send in troops to reclaim Iran’s hidden uranium stores buried in sand during the 12-day Iran-US war.
After striking alleged nuclear facilities in Iran last year, the US essentially ‘entombed’ a large supply of the nuclear material at a site in Isfahan, the NYT reported.
Though access to the material remains difficult, there are fears that Iran could access the nuclear weapon building block through a ‘narrow point’.
In March, when asked if he would send in ground forces to retrieve the uranium, Trump said: ‘Right now we’re just decimating them, but we haven’t gone after it. But something we could do later on. We wouldn’t do it now.’
Last year, the US didn’t retrieve the element because it was thought to be too much of a risk.
The US and Israel have battered Iran, targeting its military capabilities, leadership and nuclear programme.
A two-week conditional ceasefire between Iran and Israel/the US has been agreed as of yesterday.
The US president said on Truth Social: ‘Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz.
‘There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process.’
Iran’s security council said it will now hand in a 10-point plan to the US through Pakistan. However, it said that the war was not over.
