Just haul some strands of tungsten filled drill pipe into low earth orbit and open bomb bay doors on a calculated re-entry. like straws in a hurricane if you have enough they will destroy anything.

Under pressure from the Nobel Peace Prize Weiner?
The enemy needs more time to dig deeper.
We already have the capability to go as deep or deeper than the new one. It can be done by a string of bunker busters. One hits the target followed by another which digs down even deeper. This has already been proven. The best part is it can be delivered by non-modified aircraft.
This may be a planted story to lull the Iranians into carelessness.

And we publicize this information because????????
If we're not going to need them, perhaps we might lend them to our Israeli friends for a spell?
Barack 0bama is turning out to be kryptonite for America.
We need to send him to a different planet.
So that Zero can say, "Well, I can't make a preemptive strike because the bunker busters are not ready yet!"
I prefer using the mass driver from our secret lunar base...
Niffty idea BTW. Why tungsten when concrete is so much cheaper?
“So that Zero can say, “Well, I can’t make a preemptive strike because the bunker busters are not ready yet!”
Between that and several Israeli pronouncements, it pretty much means that nothing will happen for at least a year by which time Iran should be ready to launch on Tel Aviv, Rome and NYC.

Been waiting for a FR to post something about this
Here’s where this idea came from..circa 1940

Doesn’t have to be tungsten but I was also thinking of what is happening to the steel casing of heavy wall drill stand if its on a re-entry and facing extreme temperatures.
Might be better if they had a 1” thick ablative silica sleeve identical to the space shuttle tiles. Like a protective blanket and some stabilizing fins these orbital darts so to speak will be impacting at lets figuratively say Mach 6.
With a dense inner core of a tough super hard metal this would and should act the same as a Abrams penetration munitions round. Except it will burrow deep shedding its outer casing and the inner dart will punch through any concrete and “spall” shedding high speed plasma style particulates that will burn through anything.
Of course the experts building munitions have a better handle on all this and I’m sure this is an old concept.
How ‘bout depleted uranium? In Iran’s case make that depleted uranium and CO-60?
A fence like McAuther was thinking about using to divide the Koreas in the 50’s...
