US Strikes Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Site Amid Tensions

The U.S. considers using the GBU-57 bunker-buster bomb to target Iran's deeply buried Fordo nuclear facility, which is critical for Iran's uranium enrichment. While technically feasible, such an attack involves significant risks and uncertainties, including the depth of the facility and potential for additional tunnels. Experts suggest that a single bomb would be insufficient, and a wave of strikes might be necessary. Alternatives like sustained air strikes or sabotage are also considered, but experts warn that military action alone may not fully dismantle Iran's nuclear program, emphasizing the importance of negotiations.
