TL;DR Summary
The US and Israel are considering military options, including the use of powerful bunker buster bombs, to target Iran's deeply buried Fordow nuclear facility, which is a key site in Iran's nuclear program and has been the focus of recent Israeli strikes. The US possesses the only bombs capable of reaching such depths, and Israel has also used similar weapons in past operations. The situation is tense, with potential for escalation and concerns over nuclear and chemical contamination.
