The recently-revealed Qom nuclear plant in Iran is buried so deep under concrete that a "regular" military attack would not affect it, Defense Minister Ehud Barak revealed to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee on Monday.

Concerning Iran, the Defense Minister said that the Qom nuclear reactor was under construction for several years and is buried in a bunker that is resistant to regular bombing. He did not mention the prospect of a nuclear strike.

The libtards believe that Only the USA and Israel are evil imperialist aggressors and all other nations are just fighting for their liberty.

Well then, break out the MOAB and get it done.

But the truth is Obama will sleep and play golf until they finalize and release.

Hard to believe this has caused this much confusion.

(Ehud) Barak is not even spelled the same as BaraCk (Obama).

C'mon people. Obutthole is not even contemplating a military option, let alone commenting on the difficulties of mounting one.

Maybe Israel will have to destroy Iran’s Military completely and then nobody will be left to man the nuclear program at all????

There's a rumor that there is something bigger and better than conventional explosives that could be used.

Let's use 'em. Target every fusion warhead of a 6 warhead MIRV on the same Qom coordinates.

Light fuse. Get away.

Qom go boom.

And Iran would then have the world's largest skate park, excavated and smooth paved in the same afternoon.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

“Bunker Buster” technology is quite mature. Basically, a bunker buster bomb is a worn out 155mm artillery tube driven with enormous force against a reinforced concrete wall that fires a huge charge once its momentum is spent. The enemy can have several layers (false voids) in front of the ulimate target. You may have to cascade several rounds.

A huge advantage is that once the bunker is pierced, it helps contain and amplify the damage resulting from the blast.

you are thinking so much about the way Israel or the US will hit Qom but we all know that both of them have the ability to do it.
it’s not the way to attack Qom that matters its how to defend Israel and the American forces in Iraq after destroying Qom and how you are certain that the Iranian don’t have their nuclear bomb already, remember that the man who gave India and Pakistan their nuclear bomb is an Iranian scientist worked for many year in the Iranian nuclear program before working with Pakistan and Iran
