3 It seems pretty clear that the US/Israeli planners are working up a physical insertion of some scale to physically seize the Iranian enriched nuke materials. It also seems likely this article is about preparing to stop the initial inserts and SEAD ops.

Consider the MacArthur Solution from the Korean War. MacArthus was considering creating a dirty-border between China and Nkor to solve the problem of Chinese intervention. Why not use our own nuke waste materials to entomb the Iranian site in a Chernobyl style umbrella of lethal radioactivity for the next 10,000 years? Easier than trying to dig it out with land forces, just air-delivery and leave it as a permanent monument to our No-Nukes-for-Iran policy?

Too much?
