Says it all really, no doubt he intends to call it Trump International Airport, and I thought operating a Herc off a football stadium was a harebrained scheme.
French General Slams Pentagon's Iran Uranium Raid Plan
Last updated 2 hours ago
Lt. Gen. Michel Yakovleff, ex-commander of the French Foreign Legion and NATO vice chief, called the high-risk operation 'beyond science fiction' during a French TV broadcast.
The Pentagon plan, briefed to President Trump last week amid U.S.-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear sites since February 28, 2026, involves thousands of special forces digging out 450 kilograms of near-weapons-grade uranium from rubble-filled tunnels 300 miles inland, building an airstrip under fire, and airlifting it out.
U.S. experts like retired Gens. Joseph Votel and Barry McCaffrey labeled it perilous and 'nuts,' comparing it to failed historical raids, while Yakovleff drew laughs likening it to France's Dien Bien Phu disaster.
