Yes, they can as long as they have no meaningful air defenses systems functioning against Israeli fighter technology. Israel could also use a stealth heavy bomber.

Iran must have a severe case of butt hurt.

Israeli airforce is ranked 129th in its airforce compared to other nations.

If the unconditional surrender occurs first, the nuke sites can be destroyed at leisure.

Why bother to bomb it? Get rid of the regime and let the new transition govt bring in the nuclear commission to dismantle it.

It doesn’t matter if some bomb the big bunker. The tolla is gone and a new government can take care of it . such bomber people.

It seems that everyone believes that a bunker buster bomb or the new MOP would destroy that facility. I do not think that anyone except Iran knows how deep that facility is underground. Does anyone outside of Iran know how deep it is?

I’m thinking along those lines, too. Even if one, or a couple of bombs were dropped, a ground inspection would still have to occur, to confirm, wouldn’t it? And if a ground inspection is unimpeded, why drop bombs? And is there danger of scattering a bunch of radiation by bombing? I don’t know, I’m asking..

“I don’t know, I’m asking..”

Nor do I. ;-)

It seems that a lot of this is speculation by people who don’t know any more than you or I.

MIT professor and actual arms professoonal was on a program today explaining how in no way in hell even the largest bomb we have wouldnt do the job. That is, if it is as deep as they indicate. It comes down largely to deflection and depth.

Its all pure speculation by uninformed incompetent individuals are pushing.

He’s an idiot. You secure the area, bring in Israeli special forces. Set up a drill rig and put a steel cased 14’’ hole down there (easy for experience drillers), lower down a tactical nuke, cap with concrete, light fuse and step away as it says on a pack of black-cat firecrackers. There wouldn’t be anything left down there to ‘salvage’.

And the extensive pilot training. And the numerous refueling tankers to refuel them from distant and secure locations.
