Why is no one talking about Iran digging a new unbombable nuke facility?

[JPost] Of course it's not "unbombable". Sealing a facility in a tomb of radioactive soil is quite a preventative measure
Thus speaketh the tart tone of a civil engineer presented with journalistic foolishness. ;-)
The facility in Natanz is built deep under a massive mountain, making it extremely difficult for the IDF to ever bomb it.

Iran is developing a new nuclear threat that could be a game-changer — and which will continue to proceed regardless of whether there is a nuclear deal or not.

#7  Is "unbombable" the same as "squirrel-proof"?
Asking for a friend who is definitely not in Mossad.

#4  We're not talking about it because it would be bad manners to blow up their unbombable site before it is finished. Plus if you do it later, you get to laugh about it. "Whoah, sorry Persian dudes! We didn't realize it was unbombable. Our bad!"

#3  Site portals may have other issues to be concerned about.

#2  Yes. If the portals are bombed, it's a very expensive giant tomb.

#1  Dig it as deep as you want.

The doors and electric lines will still have to be topside somewhere, and they will be much easier to kill.

And to put this in perspective, it's gotta cost increasingly outrageous amounts of money to keep digging these things deeper and deeper, and with inshallah construction on top of that. Let them bankrupt themselves.
