Netanyahu suggests Israel can strike Iran’s Fordow nuclear site, believed to be buried deep under a mountain, without US help
NY Post ^ | Ryan King

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly implied that his country is capable of attacking all of Iran’s nuclear facilities — even the secretive Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, which is believed to be buried half a mile under a mountain.

Netanyahu insisted the Jewish state “will achieve all our objectives” despite many military experts doubting that the Jewish state has the capabilities of taking out the underground nuclear facility site.

“We will achieve all our objectives and hit all of their nuclear facilities. We have the capability to do that,” Netanyahu said when asked by a reporter about Fordow specifically.

Israel has struck several Iranian nuclear sites since launching its “Operation Rising Lion” airstrikes on the Islamic Republic, including a primary facility in Natanz, as well as ones near Tehran and Isfahan.

The Israelis have also taken out over a dozen top Iranian scientists and key military brass as well.

Well they have nukes, though we don’t think he meant that.

Have at it, then, Bibi, and the best of luck to you. Just leave us out of it.

'which is believed to be buried half a mile under a mountain. '

It's that deep? And we have non nuclear and non orbital weapons that can penetrate it?

It would be nice to think that he didn’t mean that.

Three options: Bomb every shaft even after they try to dig out , commando raid, nuclear strike. That’s it.

Bomb the damn opening. And then when they send crews in to clear the opening, bomb it again. After the crews go home for the night.

And then bomb it again before the crews get there in the morning just to give them something to think about before they clock in.

Even if there are multiple entrances and exits, they know where they are. Just bomb them. I’m not so keen on blowing up a bunch of radioactive crap and making another Chernobyl.

I’ve been saying they could use a mini nuke.

Many military analysts have said that the US is Israel’s only ally with advanced bombers within range that could carry heavy bunker-buster bombs to take the secretive site out.

Use FAEs in the tunnels to suck all of the oxygen out.

Secure the area, bring in Israeli special forces. Set up a drill rig and put a steel cased 14’’ hole down there as deep as they want to go (no sweat for experienced drillers), lower down a tactical nuke, cap with concrete, light fuse and step away. There wouldn’t be anything left down there to ‘salvage’. They’ve been doing that in southern Nevada for many decades.

Israel new they were building these underground weapons fortresses for many years. Why did Israel not destroy them while under development? Or create their own Daddy of all bunker busters and something to deliver it?

All this rhetoric about Israel waiting around for the U.S. to get involved is crazy.

**’which is believed to be buried half a mile under a mountain. ‘**

I think the only way to penetrate that deep is with a drill. If Israel knows the location, (which I’d be surprised if they didn’t), they probably know where the entrance(s) and vent(s) are, and what to do about it.
