I keep thinking of Frodo from “Lord of the Rings” reading this article.

From what I've read, Fordow is why Israel is asking the US to get involved - apparently Israel does not have the bunker-busting munitions or the bombers needed to penetrate Fordow's hardening.

Destruction of the Fordow facility is the only reason I'd even contemplate any US involvement - if a concerted bombing effort of the Fordow facility by the US ends Iran's nuclear ambitions for the foreseeable future, I'd accept this as the right decision.

It’s pretty unusual that Defense Ministry is telegraphing plans to attack this facility. They have been so ingenious… well, after October 7… and they have so many operatives in country that I can’t help think they’ve come up with something to crack this thing. Per their statements, well known by the end of the week

I think the threats to blow it up are an attempt to persuade its personnel to give it up. Israeli spies would cart off the good stuff. It would be a serious intel coup.

Or, as been said already, the Israelis have people there.

Secret facility....How many people will read about this “secret”?

They haven’t hit Fordo yet because they are still trying to locate ChevyO and ChryslerO.

I don’t think Netanyahu would have launched the attack on Iran unless Israel have spies or collaborators to do their bidding at Fordow. Likely Israel has planted explosives near the mountain so if there is an opportunity, Israel could order the spies to insert the explosives in Fordow and detonate a big explosion.

IAEA says 87%. Boy, I hope they have that stored properly. It would be a darned shame if explosions above caused some containers to break open and a critical mass formed. A darned shame (wink wink nudge nudge)

They don’t need to “damage” these sites...they need to be wiped out.
