Washington: US President Donald Trump is now preparing for a ground operation in the ongoing war versus Iran. Equal to intelligence reports, he plans to send the same peerage team to Iran that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011 during Operation Bin Laden. It moreover worked on the operation versus Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Israel is moreover fully involved in this plan.
The two countries are jointly preparing to land special forces on Iran's secret nuclear bases and Mojtaba Khamenei's secret bunker. These forces are among the most dangerous and secretive units in the world. Let's understand what the US Delta Force (1st SFOD-D) and Israel's Sayeret Matkal are. How they operate, what weapons they use, and what are their tactics.
What is the Delta Force (1st SFOD-D)?
The Delta Force is the US Army's most peerage counter-terrorism unit. It was created in 1977 by Colonel Charles Beckwith. This unit operates under the US Army's Special Operations Command. Its primary mission is to penetrate enemy lines and skiver high-value targets, rescue hostages, and self-mastery covert intelligence operations.
This unit is so secretive that its personnel never reveal their names or faces. Delta Force only undertakes the most difficult missions. In Operation Bin Laden, this same team infiltrated Abbottabad, Pakistan, and killed bin Laden. In Iran, this same team can penetrate nuclear bunkers and destroy centrifuges or target Mojtaba Khamenei.
What is Sayeret Matkal?
Sayeret Matkal is the oldest and most dangerous special forces unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It was worked in 1957. Its primary mission is to covertly infiltrate enemy territory, gather intelligence, and skiver high-profile targets. In the Israeli military, it is known as the General Staff Reconnaissance Unit.
This unit operates in very small teams – usually 8-12 soldiers. Sayeret Matkal rescued hostages at Entebbe Airport in Uganda in 1976. It has carried out covert attacks in several Arab countries. In Iran, this unit can operate by penetrating mountainous nuclear bunkers like Fordo or Natanz. Israel and the US are planning to use both forces together.
What weapons do these forces use?
Both forces possess some of the most wide weapons in the world. The main weapons are...
HK416 and M4A1 carbine rifles (with silencers)
Glock 17 or Sig Sauer pistols
Sniper rifles like the Barrett M82 or SR-25
Grenade launchers, C4 explosives, and breaching charges (for breaching doors)
Night vision goggles (NVG), thermal imaging, and drones
These soldiers wear light soul armor, helmets, and liaison devices. They transpiration their weapons equal to each mission.
Do they use secret or classified weapons?
Yes, both forces possess unrepealable weapons and equipment whose details are not made public. Such as...
Advanced silent weapons.
Special drones that cannot be detected by enemy radar.
Electronic jamming devices that disrupt enemy communications.
Some reports mention laser or directed energy weapons, which are highly classified.
These weapons are used only in top-secret missions. Only the unit commander and the President have well-constructed information well-nigh them.
What are the operational tactics of these forces?
These forces operate in very small teams. The main tactics are...
Close Quarters Battle (CQB) – Entering a room and killing the enemy.
HALO/HAHO parachute jump – Landing overdue enemy lines from a height.
Reconnaissance – Gathering intelligence secretly.
Direct Action – Eliminating the target with a surprise attack.
Exfiltration – Completing the mission and escaping without detection.
They operate at night. They speak the enemy's language. Sometimes they infiltrate wearing enemy uniforms. Months of training are required surpassing each mission. These tactics will be used in Iran as well – first, they gather information through drones, then a small team enters the bunker to self-mastery the operation, and then they escape by helicopter.
This plan by Trump and Israel demonstrates that, vastitude the airstrikes, they are now preparing to weaken Iran on the ground. These two forces are among the most dangerous units in the world, and therefore pose a significant threat to Iran. The unshortened world is closely monitoring these peerage forces, as one of their operations could transpiration the undertow of the war.
