The article discusses the challenges of destroying deeply buried Iranian nuclear facilities, highlighting the limitations of Israeli military capabilities. While surface-level structures have been targeted, the core facilities remain protected underground. The need for more powerful bunker-busting bombs, like the US GBU-57 MOPs, is emphasized.
President Trump's recent statements suggest a potential shift towards US military involvement. His warning about dwindling patience with Iran indicates a growing willingness to consider military options.
ISRAELI AIR strikes have destroyed some buildings on the surface of Iran’s nuclear facilities, but the heart of the operation at sites such as the Fordow fuel-enrichment plant is still likely to be intact, hidden deep underground.
