“We ALL want the truth but I find it VERY hard to believe that SIX 30,000
bunker bombs didn’t put a dent..”

If, as I understand, the mountain under which the facility was located was
composed of sandstone, just one thirty thousand bomb should have been
sufficient to turn the mountain into a gigantic cratered sand box.

Looked at some geology websites for the Zagros mountains. Seems they’re primarily the product of tectonic plate collision. They’re composed of mostly limestone and dolomite, with dolomite similiar to limestone. There was sandstone but it’s been eroded away over time.

So, to me, the rock is not real hard (granite), nor particularly soft (sandstone). Those bombs wreaked some serious damage.

Hey - New method for fracking gas?

Also, the 'mountain' was more of a molehill at three hundred feet height.

Limestone and Dolomite incorporate basic chemistry.

Thus, they can be easily separated or crushed into the desired size.
