Inside Iran's Fordow nuclear site – a fortress in the mountains Israel likely needs the US and ‘bunker buster' bombs to topple
[World News via NYP] There’s just one Iranian nuclear facility left on Israel’s hit list — and it may be up to the US to take it out. Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant is a fortress built deep within the mountains — up to 300 feet underground.That’s out of reach of Israel’s known munitions. Only America’s 15-ton bunker-buster bomb, GBU-57A/B Massive Ordinance Penetrator, is thought to be capable of touching it. While Israel has surprised Western intelligence in the past with the scope of their arms and strategies, nothing the Jewish state has shown off so far suggests it has the means to penetrate Fordow’s defenses, said Nicholas Carl, a research manager at the American Enterprise Institute’s Critical Threats Project.
