Anyone care to predict the consequences to a surgical (!) nuclear strike by Israel on Iran’s nuclear weapons labs?
(They’re buried deep, heavily armored, and AFAIK Israel doesn’t have suitable non-nuclear bunker-busters. Atomic ground strikes are the only solution I can think of, alternatives welcome.)
Start thinking about it because methinks we’ll see it happen inside 12 months (any longer, and we may see the reverse).

I agree.
Wouldn’t an underground facility by it’s nature have some sort of ground level vents to allow air to pass? Couldn’t a team of special forces operators attack these weak points in a ground assault just before an air strike drops precision munitions on the craters opened by the ground team?
What if you bypassed the facilities altogether and concentrated on the human resources of Iran’s nuclear program? Do the workers and scientists all live underground? Or are there barracks somewhere that could be destroyed, wiping out the vast majority of the personnel that run the operations?
