Israel says one of its main goals is to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities - including the Fordow nuclear site, which is buried inside a mountain.
There's one weapon that could achieve this - and only the US is known to have it.
As BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner wrote earlier, this is the 30,000lb question. Because that, (13,600kg), is the tonnage of the weapon that would be needed to reach some of Iran’s most secretive and valuable nuclear apparatus, buried 90m (295ft) deep under a mountain.
The weapon, to give it its full name, is the GBU-57 MOP, standing for Massive Ordnance Penetrator and it can hit targets as deep as 61m underground, or deeper with repeated strikes.

This one needs highlighting as it's probably what the White House is "considering".
I hope in the interests of peace and prosperity they don't do it but it's probably this...
The MOP is so big and heavy it can only be carried by US B-2 or B-52 bombers.
BACON encrusted MOABs
Time for DOD to set up a lease program? d;^)
The use of these bunker busters delivered by the B2 could actually be cover for a strike from orbit.
Tungsten 22kg or so, 35,000mph or so
Let the bunker buster make a big hole and then send in the primary weapon?
decapitation weapons
It’d be good to at Least doubLe tap, just to be sure.
aka “the rod from God”?
Just drop the “Palestinians” onto Iran and let them destroy the country.
I’d hope that Trump couLd keep direct invoLvement to an extreme minimum.
[Iran needs reLigion change. Back to Zoroastrianism wouLd work for me for the rest of my Life.]
Oh no, not the Noisy Cricket!
The Mt. of HeLen?
All they need is to destroy the nuclear plants.
So why not deliver the munitions to Israel to deliver.
If Israel doesn’t have the planes to deliver the munitions—then let them borrow one of the US planes.
If the planes have classified stuff then get something in writing from netanyaho and Israeli defense and intelligence chiefes not to reverse engineer the US stuff and then make sure there are American minders around the equipment until it is returned to US hands.
Train the best Israeli pilots fast on the planes. I’m sure there are simulators somewhere.
Its should be an easy flight and bomb drop to Iran.
There will be likely no one killed. Just a couple of imploded mountains.
Iranians at these high value defenseless targets will have long since evacuated.
Double Tap that Horrendous Mess....
Fifty Years of Shitte DONE !
BiBi and Trump wash Their Hands after a Hi Five then Work up an Aid Package for
