Iranian plant for enriching Urania Fordow, hidden deep below the mountain and protected by tons of rocks, remains out of the reach of Israeli strokes.
Although Israel has repeatedly emphasized the desire to destroy the Iranian nuclear program, the only weapon that could pierce fordow is the American “Bunker Buster” bomb, the heavy 14 tons, which Israel – does not possess.
Bunker Buster Bombs work by first breaking the surface of the soil, and then explode deep underground, targeting bunkers and other strategic goals. GBU-57, also known as “Massive Ordnance Penetrator”, can penetrate up to 60 meters underground, and is launched exclusively from the US B-2 Stealth bombers, writes Sky News.
After the sudden Israeli attacks, the three main objectives were plants in Natanz, Izfahan and Fordow – all key parts of the Iranian nuclear program.
According to the Chief of Iaea Rafael Grossi, the attack on the natanz destroyed about 15,000 centrifuises, probably through the sabotage of power. Facilities, including the central chemical laboratory and plant for the conversion of Urania, are damaged in Izfahan. Fordow, however, did not suffer visible damage.
