It has been tested against reinforced concrete. The labs are under a couple hundred feet of rock.
It might take a couple bites at the apple to finish it.
That said, I imagine the first one would shake the centrifuges off their bases.
I wonder if the resulting radiation would leak out.
Okay, so let’s test 2 of them. Nobody will be able to dig that out, even if it doesn’t “work”.
Then let Israel secure the sites and destroy them with explosives. Maybe then we can provide some security for UN observers to take tours of the sites.
Well if one doesn’t, more than one will, the current model of GBU 57 has deeper penetration and they can drop a second or third in the same hole as the first.
The MGPB would destroy Fordow.....but they do not want to destroy it.They want it intact, and do not want to spread radiation and poisonous fallout.
Israels elite commando forces will take it down and occupy it.They will use sleeping gas to neutralize any living being inside of the Fordow complex.
The entire Islamofascist Regime will be decapitated....all of them killed.
A new rebirth is coming for Iran.....and Iranian oil will be denied to China and to North Korea. Part of Iran’s oil profits will be used to rebuild Gaza, and other places that Iran and its proxies have destroyed.
Allahwahoo WHACKBAR !
The bunker buster scenario may be psychological ops to obfuscate what ultimately may be a spec operation involving teams blowing then entering the facility to inventory and identify the various components to determine countries of origin. This information will then be used against those countries to embarrass and drag them through the mud of international consternation. A second reason would be to prevent or limit radiation poisoning.
Could they siege the place? IOW, cut off all inroads for goods, electricity, reinforcements, etc.?
Does it matter if the Ayatollahs are removed?
How do people get in and out of Fordow? Deliver a bomb that way.
So what’s the point - If it wasn’t used in war before we shouldn’t use it at all? We never landed at Normandy either - maybe we shouldn’t have done it.

Well, it will create massive damage, at the very least.
Helps that they have absolute air dominance over Iranian airspace.
And they do have Black Hawks and H-53s with in-flight refueling capability.
Moving the goal posts. Sounds familiar.
It is Boeing after all...
It’s not just about the depth to which the bombs need to blow solid rock to smithereens.
It’s also about not screwing up and dropping the bombs in the wrong place (lat/long) because you guessed wrong or had bad information.
The exact right place in Iran to double- or triple-up on bunker busters is the most important secret in the world right now, and there’s no guarantee any non-Iranian has that information. That’s a huge issue, no matter what Linda Graham thinks the U.S. should do. Trump will not want to attack, and, because the bunker busters were off-target, accomplish nothing.
Many Bothans had better be patriotically deading themselves right about now to get Trump the secret information he needs, or he’s going to start turning his stable genius gaze elsewhere.
Israel has plenty of nukes. Place one at the entrance and boom. Door opened.
There is a little car fire under a bridge and it takes two years for people to be able to drive across it again.
If a 30,000 lb bomb hits a nuclear reactor compound it will be more difficult to put it back on line than to start over.
It is forties. It probably has 300ft feet of concrete above it.
