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.
And all the responses doubling down on the unsubstantiated claims.
What’s the source on that image showing the crash site and where the airman was recovered? Don’t think would be shared publicly unless someone leaked (wouldn’t surprise me). But in that case why wouldn’t someone blow the lid on the whole thing? If there’s one thing this clown show of an admin is bad at it’s keeping secrets.
