If at first you do not succeed, try, try, again.

The facility would have to use lots of electricity during operation.

It’s an Earthquake bomb.

It can create enough force to destroy without penetrating the caverns. It can also entomb the centrifuges in radioactive darkness forever.

Here is Harry Kazianis'a linked in profile.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not seeing something in his record. Any military, government, or private sector employment, outside of journalism, political advising and think tanks.
He is the type of career military experts, who talks with familiarity of subjects he does not have.

I take this type of expert with a huge grain of salt.

I wonder if the resulting radiation would leak out.


no— no you don’t. you know the outcome— you just want us to assure you.

if the big bomb don’t get it done, my guess is we have a weaponized nuclear version that will penetrate, implode and collapse the mountain and taint it with fatal radiation for the next 10000 year half life.

Can you imagine the helo flight from Israel to iran? How many refuelings, how many dozens of hours of flight time, how little weaponry and manpower delivered by each helo.

Crap, this is hard.

Take an airfield and all the roads to Fordow, land c-17s for several days, air cover for a few battalions, sappers at each first blast door destroy the entrances? Nope, that’ll just ruin their ability to get to the second blast door a few hundred meters on. So they have to find a way to prise open each blast door on their way down a half a mile of passageways to the lowest room in the place. Destroy everything when they get there without killing themselves with radiation. Then reverse and get everyone and most things back to Israel safely. Holy crap! That’s a HUGE lift.

I’ll bet dropping it 200 yards from dead center would destroy the place, from a functional standpoint.

Just drop napalm, let it burn and suck out all the oxygen.

Fit it with a nuke warhead and fire away! Make it look like the facility had an “accident” with one of their own weapons.

Sealing off the entry/exit accesses would be sufficient. Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

Drop one, Wait for the dust to clear out then drop a second with precisely the same trajectory aimed at precisely the same impact point.

The second one should go deeper than the first.

Repeat as necessary.
