Trump should announce Iran has 72 hours to place 440 kg of enriched uranium

In the desert east of Natanz or the tunnel complexes will be destroyed with tactical nukes.
Fallout on these is minimal and wind is currently favorable to blow away from population centers near Isfahan, Pickaxe Mountain and Fordowe. These are also the highest probability sites for housing the Uranium based on intelligence and satellite imagery.
It would likely take 15-20 tactical nukes to reliably destroy all 3 tunnel/bunker networks.
Is it an escalation? Absolutely. The stated reason for this war was stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Anything short of either seizing or destroying the uranium will be a failure.
There are 3 other options:
1. End the war and leave the same ideological regime in place, still in possession of the Uranium.
2. Send in ground troops to secure the uranium at the potential cost of thousands of American lives.
3. Negotiate the surrender of the uranium.
1 and 2 are politically unacceptable outcomes and there is seemingly no chance that anyone on Iran's side that would agree to surrender it, has the power to do so.
Unless preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon was a lie, tactical nukes appear to be the cleanest way to get a victory and get out.

frick announcing anything else.
You gave your warning and they refused to accept.
Make sure they don’t know what is about to hit them
Only thing Trump needs to tell his command staff

On an escalation of this scale, I think you have to. It puts the ball in Iran's court and it will be obvious if anything is being moved out of these sites, which makes the job of securing/destroying it much easier.

So to stop them from getting nukes, use nukes? That will truly show the rest of the non-nuke world they don’t need nukes…

This prescription shows Iran that they should absolutely develop nuclear weapons to protect themselves (as should every country that is in conflict with the US).

Every person in that regime who supported developing nukes is saying "I told you so"

I can't believe some of you are allowed to vote.

Not that they don't need nukes, that they better not fricking try to get nukes.
Does that math work for you?

They were going to do so anyways.
Surely there's at least a 1% chance that we can convince them that the cost of obtaining nukes (if we even ever allow them too) is simply too high?

Trump is making a mistake by not separating Iranian people form the terrorist regime, they are mad. He should say he will destroy every IRCG member instead of sending the country to stone ages which makes Iranian people happy.
Evidence the Iranian people don't understand Trump's angle here?

Exactly. They have been warning them for over a year. Time to rip off the fricking band-aid
However, I really don't want them to blow up their power grid though. I have been without power before for a couple of weeks because of a hurricane and I simply don't wish that on innocent civilians because it was awful

How very Christian of you to bring about the apocalypse so willingly.
Because there would be no nuclear retaliation from anyone. None. Nada.

They were never not going to do this.

He was still in the Oval Office about an hour ago. Pretty sure he we have moved past the "or else" stage.

For blowing up some underground shite that absolutely needs blowing up?
Let's hear how you get the uranium out, Einstein?

So it’s ok for Israel to invade Lebanon and have nukes outside of the IAEA, but Iran that doesn’t have nukes and isn’t invading anyone is the country we go to war with.
When are we going to take action against the terrorist country of Israel?
