Here's something I've wondered about.
We get told we can't stop Iran's bomb project by bombing it because it's getting built in many different locations.
Let's say I want to stop someone from building cars, and they are building the car in many different locations. If I shut down the place where they are building the engine, they don't have a car. Or if I shut down the place where they make the brakes. Or if shut down the place they make the wheels.
If anything, spreading the operation far and wide makes the operation more vulnerable. They can't guard everything. And all that is required is to take out one key part of the operation.
But we can place them technologically back to the 7th Century. It's the direction they want civilization to return to anyway. Let's give it to 'em!
Good point.
That's why the Geman ball bearing factories were bombed during WWII.
I've heard that Iran's nuclear program is so far down the road that each aspect of production is multi-redundant.
